Near perfect retelling of the tragic events that occurred at Dunkirk

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2020)

Establishing Nolan as an all round directer that is able to explore a range of of genres with fresh ideas, Dunkirk proves that you don't need established character to tell an emotional story with a high impact. Dunkirk intentionally stays away from establishing characters that have your attention choosing instead to allow the audience to focus more on the events and soldiers as a whole. Instead of dialogue Nolan chooses to use music, beautifully composed by Hanz Zimmer to build tension and allow you to see the bigger picture. The picture being that of devastation and trajedy making the arrival of hope that much sweeter.
