Dunkirk in 70mm
Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning World War II thriller, with Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy and Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies). Nominated for eight Academy Awards and winner of film editing, sound editing and sound mixing.
Chronicles the plight of Allied forces, driven to the edge of Europe - the seaside town of Dunkirk - by German forces. Hundreds of thousands of English troops are trapped on the beach, desperate for evacuation as the enemy pushes towards them. Picked off by terrifying Stuka dive bombers, their escape craft attacked by U-boats, it'll take the courage of Spitfire pilots and civilian sailors to get more than a handful of survivors home.

Reviews & comments
Variety
press[Nolan has] found a way to harness that technique in service of a kind of heightened reality, one that feels more immersive and immediate than whatever concerns we check at the door when entering the cinema.
Total Film
pressHaunting, thrilling and emotional, Dunkirk is a prestige pic with guts and glory that demands multiple views.
Time Out
pressThis is a film without heroes or a straightforward story. The action is the attraction. If that means some of the film feels a little distant and chilly, it's in the admirable service of avoiding simplistic drama.
The Guardian
pressBritain's great pyrrhic defeat or inverse victory of 1940 has been brought to the screen as a terrifying, shattering spectacle by Christopher Nolan.
Stuff
pressAn audacious, intelligent and near-revolutionary film. It will be watched and talked about for decades. Bravo.
FilmInk
pressOne of the most gut-tightening, engrossing, downright suspenseful films of the year.
Empire Magazine
pressEffectively one enormous, stunningly rendered and thunderously intense set-piece stretched to feature-length, Dunkirk thrusts you into a pressure cooker and slams the lid on.
