A cinematic look at a pivotal moment in World War II, director Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK (2017) was recognized in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD, naming it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “DUNKIRK fills the screen with pure cinema – a triumphant achievement that pulses with both clockwork precision and the beating heart of heroism. Framing indelible images between unsettling silences and the cacophony of war’s horror, Christopher Nolan’s deconstructed narrative is so viscerally immersive, so creatively meticulous and so profoundly poetic that it elevates the art of storytelling to a priceless personal experience.”
