Christopher Nolan's next film, World War II epic Dunkirk, will tell its story in an unconventional way.
During an interview with Premiere, as translated by The Playlist, Nolan revealed that the exposition-filled dialogue in the first trailer has been dialed back, and that Dunkirk will be told through the perspective of three different British soldiers.
The film will focus on the sky with Tom Hardy manning an air plane, the beach with Harry Styles, and the sea with the navy (Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy). Nolan explained how the events of Dunkirk was different for those stuck on the beach, as they had to wait a week before being rescued while those stuck on ships were able to get out within a single day.
"To mingle these different versions of history, one had to mix the temporal strata," Nolan said. "Hence the complicated structure; Even if the story, once again, is very simple.”
Nolan explained that this complicated storytelling structure is all in service of authentically portraying an important moment in World War II.
“This is an essential moment in the history of the Second World War," Nolan said. "If this evacuation had not been a success, Great Britain would have been obliged to capitulate."
Dunkirk opens in theaters on July 21. While you wait for Nolan's next film, check out some of these stunning posters for Dunkirk.
