Una selezione di membri della stampa statunitense e di membri dell’industria hollywoodiana hanno finalmente avuto il privilegio di assistere alle prime proiezioni anticipate di 1917, il war movie diretto dal regista premio Oscar Sam Mendes.
Nonostante viga ancora l’embargo per le recensioni ufficiali, le prime reazioni paiono entusiasmanti: i film, realizzato come fosse un unico piano sequenza fotografato dal premio Oscar Roger Deakins sembra confermare quello che si si aspettava: 1917 è un trionfo tecnico e artistico. Impossibile non ritrovarlo candidato in svariate categorie ai prossimi Oscar. Nel cast, i giovani George MacKay e Dean-Charles Chapman e Colin Firth e Benedict Cumberbatch in ruoli minori.
Dal 30 gennaio nelle sale italiane con Universal Pictures.

Al culmine della Prima guerra mondiale, due giovani soldati britannici, Schofield (George MacKay) e Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) ricevono una missione apparentemente impossibile. In una corsa contro il tempo, devono attraversare il territorio nemico e consegnare un messaggio che arresterà un attacco mortale contro centinaia di soldati, tra cui il fratello di Blake.
1917 is quite a thing. Always intense, often horrific (at times it feels like watching an actual horror movie). I was skeptical of the “one continuous shot” aspect — worried it would get too cute with it — but it really works for this story, putting us right there in this hell— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) November 23, 2019
1917 is THE technical achievement of 2019. We’re with these men through every footstep & it’s unlike any war film you’ve ever seen before. Epic & tense direction by Sam Mendes, emotional & exhilarating music from Thomas Newman & an all timer from cinematographer Roger Deakins. pic.twitter.com/L0C7hKxR6C— Matt Neglia (@NextBestPicture) November 23, 2019
#1917 is a tremendous piece of filmmaking. Bold in its storytelling, masterful in its execution- it’s thrilling & emotional & I could not take my eyes off the screen from the second it began to the second it ended. The very definition of a film you MUST see on the big screen. Wow pic.twitter.com/KNO7Rp92TG— Erik Davis (@ErikDavis) November 23, 2019
Aaannnndddd that’s your frontrunner!‘1917’ is the best war film since SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. The cinematography of the year. The cinematography of the decade. Thomas Newman’s orchestral masterpiece. Sam Mendes gift to cinema…and his family. Every ounce is powerful.#1917Movie pic.twitter.com/EiwCTthAX3— Clayton Davis (@AwardsCircuit) November 23, 2019
1917: The most successful example of a film presented entirely as one long take (with whatever invisible editing cheats make that possible) since… ROPE? Emotionally immersive in a way the same techniques in GRAVITY and BIRDMAN never were for me.— Christian Blauvelt (@ctblauvelt) November 23, 2019
Sam Mendes invented a new form of filmmaking with his Great Picture about The Great War that with one simple story tells of the physical brutality of a conflict that cinema had mostly forgotten. 2nd Oscar almost guaranteed for Deakins #1917Movie #Oscars @1917— J Don Birnam (@jdonbirnam) November 23, 2019
1917 is stunning! The camera never leaves the characters making for a visceral experience. The performances by George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman are excellent and the score is one of Thomas Newman’s best. See it in the biggest, loudest theater you can. #1917Movie pic.twitter.com/YfuayAeUee— Ezra Cubero (See Knives Out!) (@EzraCubero) November 23, 2019
#1917: George MacKay, already a legend. Roger Deakins, always a legend.— Kate Erbland (@katerbland) November 23, 2019
