Episode 13

1917 (2019)

The one-take (that's actually at least 35 takes) wonder! We discuss Sam Mendes' 1917 and whether this movie fuctions better as an action movie than a war movie, in the traditional movie canon sense at least... Indiana Jones in the trenches or something deeper?

Plus we go through the hisory that inspired the film, Operation Alberich, discuss why we like this movie (well, Ros at least) and whether it veers into glorifying the First World War.

Know whether Benedict Cumberbatch's "f**k awwf" is too affected to be picked up as a profanity by Apple Podcasts, or would just like to get in touch? Drop us a line at historicalmoviespodcast@gmail.com
