Another great movie from Mendes

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2020)

1917 follows the actions of a few days in April 1917. The Germans have retreated, but airial recon has identified that they are not in flight, but rather this is an organised retreat to an already prepared line.
However the Devon's don't know and they are due to attack. Blake (Chapman) and Schofield (MacKay) are selected to run through the area vacated by the Germans and give the warning. This begins the film, and it follows the two Lance Corporals as they make their way through no-mans land; the German trenches and the terrors that wait beyond.
This is a great film; paying homage to those who fought in Europe whilst not glorifying the Great War. Recommended.
