There are good war movies, and then there are great war movies. This list contains only the great ones.
Roger Deakins is the greatest cinematographer who’s ever lived. That’s not hyperbole. That’s not recency bias. It’s a pretty inarguable fact. Throughout a career that ranges from the docudrama style of Fargo to the poetic imagery of The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford to the stunning future vision of Blade Runner 2049, Deakins has consistently proven to be a master with light and shadow, conjuring emotion and drilling down character beats with strikingly evocative imagery. His work is diverse but never derivative, distinct yet not repetitive. He’s been nominated for 14 …

1917 blew the damn roof off of my brain cage and shattered the damn siding off of my heart walls. It's a very good movie, is what I'm saying. And if you haven't seen the "presented in one shot" World War I epic from maestros Sam Mendes and Roger Deakins (who won an Academy Award for this film's seamless cinematography), now's your chance to rectify. 1917 comes to digital services March 10, and then to 4K and blu-ray March 24 -- all alongside a slew of special features. The film, a real-time war film (…
Marvel might've hoped to taste some Oscars 2020 success by taking home Best Visual Effects, but 1917 won the gong. Here's why Thanos lost (again).
The one-shot technique the film used was only the start of its challenges.
More high profile releases are also cancelling their Chinese debuts.
The EE British Academy Film Awards—or BAFTAs—were held this past weekend, and it was nearly a clean sweep for Sam Mendes’ one-shot World War I drama 1917, which won all but two awards it was nominated for. That included Best Film, Best Director, and of course Best Cinematography, but the film's success in other below-the-line categories like Best Production Design, Sound, and Special Visual Effects has many wondering if we just got a preview of what Oscars night might have in store on Sunday, February 9th. Mendes’ technically stunning film was a late-comer …
