Review of Overlord (1975) by James-Masaki R — 20 Nov 2011
An ingenious idea to combine real wartime footage from England's WWII archives, blending the footage seamlessly with a narrative story about a soldier's journey toward D-Day, "Overlord" stands above other war movies in the perspective of reality.
The surreal moments of solider Tom envisioning his death in the battlefield over and over again is one of the highlights of the movie as well, mixing again reality with the dream. Ones looking for a big battle epic war movie will get nothing out of this movie, but something far more haunting.
