Overlord

Aroview: Remarkable one-off that seamlessly interweaves archival war footage and a fictional narrative, this accounts a twenty-year-old’s journey from basic training to the front lines of D-day (6th of June), bringing all the terrors and isolation of war to life with jolting authenticity.

Impressionistically shot by Kubrick’s longtime cinematographer John Alcott, this is both a document of World War II and a dreamlike meditation on man’s smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine.
