1917 is an awards favourite, but its blocking is the real reason we wanted to discuss it. In this episode, Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney is joined by Associate Editor Brett Pardy and special guest Rough Cut Managing Editor Debbie Zhou to talk about how Mendes' theatre directing influences the film, the different ways he's addressed war on film, Dunkirk's ticking clock score, how awards season distorts film's appraisals, and why 1917 is this year's Lean on Pete.
