Dunkirk - The Screenplay

Christopher Nolan's previous films - Interstellar & Memento & The Dark Knight Trilogy - have reflected the uncertainties of the twentieth-first century

But with Dunkirk, Nolan has gone back into the past and brought to life one of the momentous events of the twentieth-century the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk

Telling the tale by land, sea, and sky, Dunkirk opens as hundreds of thousands of British and Allied troops are surrounded by enemy forces

Trapped on the beach with their backs to the sea, they face an impossible situation

And now the enemy closes in ...

The film features a prestigious cast, including Kenneth Branagh, Cillian Murphy, and newcomer Fionn Whitehead, with Mark Rylance and Tom Hardy

This Screenplay is accompanied by a conversation about the film between Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan

A must for all film students and film buffs
