Staggering into the office still in a full post-swoon after watching Dunkirk last night. Y’all know Deez Links does not easily recommend a film consisting 99.9% of white guys doing stuff (really though cc: C. Nolan, that was a lot of white guys), but we’re sold — and only marginally extra-pleased about the included Harry Styles facetime package deal.
And as the proverb goes, dazzling filmmaking begets dazzling recap content, to which I (predictably, sure) direct you to The Atlantic and The New Yorker’s epic takes (and, if you haven’t seen the film yet and have the $$$s, Slate’s argument for why you should go IMAX or go home. <-- BUT don’t click on this if you’ve already seen it on a plebeian movie screen, like yours truly, because we are not trying to get down on ourselves today).
For more Christopher Nolan Tuesday mania, The Ringer has a great analysis of Inception because ~okay yes Tom Hardy in a shearling jacket coasting silently into the sunset via a vintage fighter aircraft is the portrait of modern masculinity we don’t deserve~ but nothing. tops. Inception. Those are my fighting words.
Like Deez Links? Forward to an emotionally tortured British man mm mm mm.
