Sets A New Benchmark For World War I Epics

Rating: Null/10 (28 January 2020)

On paper, 1917 is a simple, straightforward story of two men journeying into no man's land to deliver an urgent message to an isolated regiment that's heading into the enemy's trap. What makes it an astounding achievement of its genre however are the new technical challenges it undertakes to narrate its story in real time. Conjuring pure magic under Sam Mendes' sophisticated direction, Roger Deakins' immaculate cinematography & Thomas Newman's impeccable score, 1917 is hands down the most immersive cinematic experience of the year.
