The first World War (WW1) has been a topic that has gone largely under explored in the world of cinema. I suspect this is to do the complicated nature of the war, the difficulty of spinning a narrative in this hugely complex picture and the lack of an obvious bad guy. The war was an awful, and largely pointless loss of life and treasure that reshaped the world and was the main cause World War 2. As far as “satisfying resolutions go” this is right up there with calling a game “Final Fantasy 11… we promise this is the “Final, Final Fantasy this time”. Much better to knock out another WW2 film, where the Nazis are so...

So much beauty in the filmmaking and technical aspects of the film. A mastery example of cinematography, editing, production design and directing, however there still feels something missing from this new war epic.
The now Oscar nominated and Globe Globe winning film, 1917, is directed by Sam Mendes. Mendes is a filmmaker best know now for his latest additions to the Bond franchise, Skyfall being his first and notably best effort, and more recently he directed the latest Bond film, Spectre. If you look back to Spectre you may remember it opens with one long take, one in which the camera moves freely through the streets of Mexico, into a building, up an elevator, out of a window and onto the roof.

She’s pert and beautiful, and stands out from her scuzzy town in the Scottish Highlands like a diamond on a plate of herring. Yet no one would look at Liusaidh, the 24-year-old heroine of “The Party’s Just Beginning,” and call her a princess. Played by Karen Gillan, the Scottish TV–actress–turned–blockbuster–costar, Liusaidh spends each day, sullen and glum, behind the cheese counter of a local supermarket: a go-nowhere job she despises. At night, she drinks like a fish (mostly hard liquor), until she’s trashed enough to go through her ritual of sinful deliverance. She’ll pick up a man, often a stranger — not someone at a bar, but someone right off the street — and have him take her roughly from behind. After that, she’ll scarf several helpings of greasy fries, stuffing them into her mouth as she walks along with greedy abandon. (It...
