Review of Dunkirk

Dunkirk (2017)
9/10
Another Nolan marvel
23 July 2017
Nolan is known for his mind boggling screenplay and storytelling. This time he has come out with a rather dull story with extraordinary movie making. The story is not so new a war that shakes the earth how soldiers fight for their life. What works in the movie is the way the story is conveyed.

Nolan has taken three different links that end up at the same point. Few minutes into the film might confuse the watchers (As Nolan does every time), but once the enlightenment happen the movie takes us inside. Especially the last half an hour of the movie is a thrill ride.

Music is the major aspect of the movie, it elevates the story and makes us to feel the scenes. At times we are left with no music but once it picks up we can actually live the scenes rather than watching it. I took the bullets myself when watching the movie (The marvel of movie making).

Cinematography by Hoyte Van Hoytema is perfect to plant the scenes in our mind. Lee Smith's editing helps us to understand the story better. The last half an hour is the perfect example of his hard work.

Above Christopher Nolan's master mind has made a dull story into a memorable experience. It is the experience that any Hollywood lovers don't want to miss. Nolan has added another feather to his hat.
