Dunkirk

In 1940 the British army is on a beach in France, and Nolan tells the week as three clocks: a week on land, a day at sea, an hour in the air. The clocks meet. Fionn Whitehead barely speaks. Mark Rylance takes his small boat across because the navy asked civilians to. Tom Hardy’s pilot has fuel for a short argument with the sky. The Warner Bros. trailer is the mole and the Spitfire. The film’s subject is the queue, not a speech about the queue.
