Review of Dunkirk (2017)
Christopher Nolan (director).
Seen in 2023.
Seen on an airplane’s in-flight entertainment system, with barely audible dialogue.
The evacuation of British forces from France in 1940.
The practical effects and props of the aerial sequences are especially impressive. Hardy is good as Farrier in his tactile-looking mask. The symbolic dimension of the film, with its heavily foreshadowed “miracle” eucatastrophe, reminds me of Andrei Rublev (1966).
