An Oscar worthy, intense war drama about the event of Dunkirk.

Rating: 8/10 (28 August 2017)

Dunkirk, yet again, proves that Christopher Nolan is one of the best film directors of this generation, if not of all time. It is his 10th film and once again - it doesn't disappoint. I liked this movie very much.
Nolan, not surprisingly, chooses to tell the story of Dunkirk in an interesting and unusual way, from 3 different perspectives - in the air, on the water and on the ground. From the first second of the film you are instantly thrown into the action and events of this "great" war. And you never really get to relax for the rest hour and forty minutes. It almost feels as the movie doesn't really have 3 acts but is only 1 big act from the beginning to the end. It is a very intense and emotional film and it won't make you feel bored for a second as the story constantly moves forward.
And of course composer Hans Zimmer needs to be mentioned, as once again, his collaboration with Christopher Nolan is amazing. The score in Dunkirk is just incredible, it raises the bar, makes you feel emotional, intense, scared, and it blends perfectly in every scene, creating this intense and powerful atmosphere. The cinematography, lighting and sound is also the highest level.
The cast is fantastic, great performances from left to right, from veterans such as Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance to the younger brake-out stars such as Fionn Whitehead, Aneurin Bernard and yes I said it - Harry Styles. The movie doesn't show you a certain hero of this story, it is a bunch of people who are trying to survive this horrible event. You can say that it is not as much about the characters and their story as about the incident itself, the main protagonist of this film is the event of Dunkirk.
Dunkirk is one of the best films of 2017 and definitely a worthy Oscar nominee. If you haven't watched the movie do yourself a favor and check it out.
