Review of Munich - The Edge of War (2021) by Mauro_Lanari — 23 Jan 2022
(Mauro Lanari).
Two years ago George MacKay had already been the protagonist of "1917" and I find it interesting to compare the two films, the one on the 1st World War and this on the preparations for the 2nd. If Mendes focused on virtuosity and war horrors, Schwochow has preferred a more conventional and intense historical drama. We know what will happen after the Munich Agreement, but not so much about what happened before. Within a few years the Oxford friends were catapulted into the devastation of their projects, dreams, expectations, hopes for the future, and pointing out the fleetingness of youthful illusions provides a depth that transcends the contingency of the event in itself.
