If you’re on the hunt for a quality movie night recommendation but can’t make up your mind, I’ve got just what you need. I recently stumbled upon a past podcast appearance where decorated director Quentin Tarantino revealed his second favorite film of the 2010s. Better yet, the picture in question is now streaming on Prime Video.
Tarantino appeared on the Rewatchables Podcast in 2020 to discuss a feature he just can’t stop rewatching. I’m talking about Christopher Nolan’s war thriller Dunkirk.
In conversation with the hosts, Tarantino acknowledged that it took him several viewings to appreciate the film fully. He said of his inaugural experience, “I was awed by it.” The Pulp Fiction director explained that it took several times to really see past the spectacle of the flick and appreciate the phenomenal filmmaking on display within.
Tarantino continued, saying: “Oftentimes, you see a film where the style is about the adrenaline of it. The style is an immersive experience, but by the third or fourth viewing, you get past the style and you realize the magician’s tricks. In the case of ‘Dunkirk,’ it rewards Nolan’s efforts to see it more. There’s a point, by mid-movie, he can’t do it wrong. It’s a symphony. Nothing doesn’t work.”
In case you’re unfamiliar, this is the setup for this Tarantino-approved offering:
In May 1940, Germany advanced into France, trapping Allied troops on the beaches of Dunkirk. Under air and ground cover from British and French forces, troops were slowly and methodically evacuated from the beach using every serviceable naval and civilian vessel that could be found. At the end of this heroic mission, 330,000 French, British, Belgian, and Dutch soldiers were safely evacuated.
Where Can You Watch Dunkirk?
If you think you may be keen to track down Dunkirk for your next movie night, you don’t have to look very far. The picture is streaming on Prime Video as of the publication of this post. So, all you need is a subscription to the platform.
Celebrated director Christopher Nolan takes the sole screenwriting credit on Dunkirk, in addition to helming duties. Not to mention, he also has a producing credit, proving he was involved with nearly every step of the process.
A Stellar Cast
Nolan assembled a rather impressive cast for this Oscar-winning effort. The roster features the likes of Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, Jack Lowden, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard, James D’Arcy, Barry Keoghan, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Hardy, and Mark Rylance.
That’s all that I have for you, for the time being. Keep an eye out for more recommendations from your favorite cinematic masters as we successfully unearth them. If you fancy the idea of stalking me on social media, you can keep up with my comings and goings via Threads.
