Review of Overlord (1975) by Samantha B — 14 Jun 2011
A very unique, captivating look into the landscape of War. The film follows Tom, a rather typical britain man, who goes into military service. We follow Tom from him arriving at bootcamp til the days leading up to D-Day.
One of the interesting aspects of Overlord is that about 1/3 of the film is stock footage taken during WWII. The film tells Tom's journney while intercutting WII footage to quite harrowing effect at times.
The intercutting between stock footage and our protagonist journey really creates a strong realistic atmosphere. Its a harrowing look into WWII from the viewpoint of just an average joe, and it really shouldn't be missed.
