(Odeon Colchester)
They Shall Not Grow Old** (15)
(GB/New Zealand 2018)
Documentary reminiscinces of several former British soldiers on the Western Front, focusing on th general trench experience without any reference to the history of WWI itself, but remains refreshingly objective to its period and the semi-colourisation with added dialogue to the soldiers' mouths creates an immediacy which is often touching, and the imagery shows many of the visual influences that the director used throughout his Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Director: Peter Jackson.
Music: Plan 9.
+ screened simultaneously with the London Film Festival
