Told through technical wizardry and harrowing cinematography, Sam Mendes' "1917" is designed to place you right into the confusion and violence of World War I, right alongside its characters. Nathan Weinbender takes a look at 2020's first real blockbuster, which is also a frontrunner for best picture and best director at the Oscars.
Nathan Weinbender is the Film and Music Editor for the Inlander and a co-host of Spokane Public Radio's "Movies 101" heard Friday evenings at 6:30 here on KPBX.
