A milestone in film making!

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2017)

After 3 painful years of anticipation, I was fortunate enough to get passes for the advanced screening of Dunkirk. However, I wasn't prepared for what unfolded on the big screen. This movie is a rendition. With barely any narrative and full of long shots with whirring plane noises that make you cringe, it is perhaps at the zenith of Nolan's film making. You know that a filmmaker has succeeded when his work has the capacity to teleport you into the scene, and Dunkirk does exactly that. Momentarily, you become Hardy's copilot, the seamen's first mate and the infantry's best friend! I am thrilled that Nolan has moved away from his usual style of film making and returned to producing technically sound films. There is a lot of talk about the effective usage of the mis-en-scene, but trust me when I say this, Dunkirk will put a rest to that! With artful plays on temporal story telling, engrossing and convergent plot lines and involving actors who had just their eyebrows to articulate emotion with, the movie is certainly a Magnum Opus in film making. Watch the movie this weekend!
