"Dunkirk" (2017) Directed by Christopher Nolan

In essence: the film, and a running time of just 106 minutes, is split across three distinct, yet interweaving time(s) and narrative(s) entitled “1. THE MOLE (One Week)”, “2. THE SEA (One Day)” and “3. THE AIR (One Hour)”.Show more

“The Mole” is by far the largest unravelling of the cast of characters here and as per the picture above it takes place primarily in the town of Dunkirk and the beachhead from which the thousands of British soldiers await their fate as they take cover from the strafing German aeroplanes, building portable ramps into the sea and trying to negate the vicious tides or simply awaiting a high tide to sweep their makeshift vessel out to sea. Vastly more incidents are thrust upon “Alex” (Harry Styles), “Gibson” (Aneurin Barnard) “French Soldier” (Damien Bonnard) “Tommy” (Fionn Whitehead) and all the way up the ranking order to an always perplexed looking Kenneth Branagh as “Commander Bolton” as everyone desperately awaits either their fate or an impossible mission, and their rescue via a huge flotilla of personal boats, ships and cruisers leaving England.

The above opening paragraphs are taken from my very first opus film blog article on the entire career of Christopher Nolan which I originally penned and published over a decade ago, added to with his releases of "Dunkirk" here and "Tenet" and which was transferred to my Medium blog site on 14th January 2023 and can now be read in full and for free via my Substack blog site and original article linked immediately below. I have also linked my original opus blog article on the entire career of the London born filmmaker here too:
