1917 marks a moment in the history of American cinema when the ever-evolving tools of the art form prove the perfect complement to the genius of its storytelling. Sam Mendes' soaring tribute to heroism is both epic and intimate - a harrowing journey captured in the eyes of Roger Deakins' single shot to immerse audiences like never before in a pulse-pounding experience. As the horrors of history recede in memory, it is experiences like this one that insist they not be forgotten.
