Apocalypse wow! MUST-SEE OF THE MONTH Dunkirk TBC Christopher Nolan’s gut-wrenching World War Two drama is as epic as they come! DIRECTOR Christopher Nolan starring TOM HARDY, CILLIAN MURPHY, MARK RYLANCE, Kenneth Branagh, HARRY STYLES, Fionn Whitehead “When 400,000 men couldn’t get home, home came for them.” Brought to you by Christopher Nolan, the director behind The Dark Knight Trilogy, Inception and Interstellar, Dunkirk is an awe-inspiring Second World War movie that’s guaranteed to get your blood pumping. Starring Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy and Harry Styles (more on him later), it recreates the Dunkirk evacuation from three different perspectives: air, land and sea. For those unfamiliar with this historic event, the Miracle of Dunkirk (as it’s also known) took place between 26 May and 4 June 1940. Following the fall of France, around 400,000 Allied troops were stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk, with German soldiers closing in. Catastrophic loss of life seemed inevitable, but the Nazis had reckoned without the indomitability of the men and women at Winston Churchill’s disposal. Understandably, given their status as the biggest boy band in the world, a lot of the publicity surrounding this film has concerned the casting of 1D’s resident lothario Harry Styles – but he’s absolutely terrific here, as are all the cast. A big-screen experience to swell the heart and stir the soul. Brutal but breathtaking cinema. 21 JUL Watch the trailer MOVIE MATHEMATICS + Battleships + Bullets + Bombs Harry Styles = Dunkirk or when accompanied by an adult 15 Suitable for ages 15+ 18 Adults only odeon.co.uk 21
