A visualy stuning cinema

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2020)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"1917" (2019) is a movie during which i constantly said to myself - i have never seen anything like it. And indeed, from a craftsmanship perspective - this movie is visually stuning piece of art. Its not my favorite war movie ever by any means, but its a great entry into war movies genre. It reminded me a bit of "Come and See" (USSR masterpiece) regarding its visual style. Directing was amazing as well terrific cinematography - Roger D. deserves another Oscar for this masterpiece of visual telling of a story.
Overall, while "1917" lacks more character development, its unlike anything i have ever seen (and i saw "Victoria", truly done in one shot). This is a great cinema.
