A new take on the terror of war

Rating: 8/10 (6 February 2020)

Dunkirk is not like any other war movie I've ever seen and is another step up for Christopher Nolan and his directing style. It's a realistic documented account into the nature of a battle at sea and has minimal dialogue, instead just showing the emotion and raw manic of the situation that these men were in. The cinematography is sharp and crystal clear in what it's trying to communicate and the musical score is powerful and intense.
Dunkirk is very good at building anxiety and tension throughout with it's pacing and weaving of story element between three main characters at points in the story. It's a modern new take on the WWII genre and is another stunning piece of work from Nolan
