'1917' is a technical accomplishment — and a deeply felt tale of heroism under fire. Read Peter Travers' review of the GoldenGlobes winner
In the first shot of this groundbreaking World War I film, two young British soldiers — lance corporals Schofield and Blake — are caught napping in a field. It’s the last time they, or we in the audience, will be able to catch a breath. For the next two hours, directorand cinematographer Roger Deakins will stalk these young men in what seems like one continuous take, tagging along as they charge through enemy territory on a mission to save lives.
And they’re off, over two days in April 1917, choking on tension that never lets up. Mendes, who won an Oscar for his 1999 debut film,The Lehman Trilogy, is testing himself. About that single take — it’s impossible, of course. Filmmakers from Alejandro G. Iñárritu inhave also faked it before. But Mendes, in ardent and artful tandem with editor Lee Smith and Deakins, his creative partner oncreates a visionary miracle. Any fears you might have going in that technical trickery is usually short for “gimmick” are instantly allayed by the film’s palpable sense of intimacy.
