Overlord

You will be swept up in a dreamlike recreation of the horror of war in this impressionistic masterpiece. Overlord seamlessly interweaves actual footage from World War II and the fi ctional account of one ordinary young British man’s journey from basic training to the front lines of D-Day, from patriotic pride to resignation at having been but a small cog in a large machine. Written and directed by Stuart Cooper (Little Malcolm, The Long Hot Summer), with stunning black-and white cinematography and powerful, shimmering images by John Alcott (A Clockwork Orange, 2001: A Space Odyssey), Overlord is wonderfully evocative on every level. A one-of-a-kind cinematic experience that deserves a place in your home fi lm collection.
