- Summary:
- Seamlessly interweaving archival war footage with a fictional narrative, this immersive account of one twenty-year-old's journey from basic training to the front lines of D-day brings to life all the terrors and isolation of war with jolting authenticity. OVERLORD, directed by Stuart Cooper and impressionistically shot by Stanley Kubrick's longtime cinematographer John Alcott, is both a document of World War II and a dreamlike meditation on human smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine. Winner of two prizes at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"Narratively, Cooper manages to give a moving, elegiac quality to this soldier's chronicle of a death foretold; and aesthetically... he brings out the strange, emotive beauty contained in these images of an economy of death." - Wally Hammond, **Time Out***
