DUNKIRK WAS EVEN MORE VISUALLY BEAUTIFUL THAN I HAD IMAGINED

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2018)

[...] "Throughout the film Nolan creates an almost claustrophobic feeling of uneasiness and an overwhelming sense of helplessness is always present. No one feels safe, no matter what their rank is and how important or not they are. There isn't any safe places, enemies might attack at any moment and there's suspense from the first minute to the last. Two of the elements that help create a constant tenseness and suspense is the cinematography and music. Instead of relying on dialogue, it's a film with little dialogue and sometimes there are scenes that play out for several minutes without audible dialogue - something that isn't too usual in today's big budget commercial cinema. Which is both a bold and interesting choice in my opinion. Sometimes, just like in real life, facial expressions, body language and actions can speak louder than words."
