Christopher Nolan has done it again!

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2017)

Christopher Nolan has had a marvelous run as a director, especially in the last 10 years. He has been able to adapt his grandiose style into a variety of genres such as the superhero genre (The Dark Knight Trilogy), sci-fi (Interstellar), and "thiller" (Inception). With his latest movie he has decided to adapt the infamous "disaster of Dunkirk" to the big screen and here, we have another fantastic film to add to his already impressive filmography. Nolan manages to make an emotionally grueling war movie that frankly does not feature any of the genre clichés one might expect. It is solely about the event which means Nolan refrains from ever giving the viewer a moment to breath. Without giving too much away the structure of the storytelling the movie provides is probably its strongest element, that will keep you buried in the films grasp. As well as Hans Zimmer subtle yet effective score which, just like the movie, almost never lets up. The technical aspect of the movie is perfection, everything from the sound design, the cinematography, etc. Nolan once again brings us a technically beautiful film. One small thing to keep in mind is that this more of a suspense movie then it is a war movie but that did not bother me, it is just worth noting. Regardless, this is a fantastic movie that will most definitely be defined as a classic. BR
