A behind-the-scenes look at director Christopher Nolan’s gripping action-thriller Dunkirk , which brings to life one of World War II’s most pivotal events. Set during World War II, director Christopher Nolan’s ( The Dark Knight Trilogy , Interstellar ) much-anticipated new film tells the story of the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk, France, in a daring endeavor that saved them from certain defeat at the hands of enemy forces. Featuring a stunning ensemble cast that includes newcomers Fionn Whitehead, Tom Glynn-Carney, and Harry Styles, as well as acclaimed actors Kenneth Branagh, Mark Rylance, Cillian Murphy, and Tom Hardy, Dunkirk offers a breathtaking glimpse at a turning point in the conflict determined by not only the ingenuity of the British forces but also the bravery of British civilians who sailed into war-torn waters to save them. The Making of Dunkirk tells the incredible story of how Nolan brought this pivotal moment in World War II to life on the screen using innovative film-making techniques that give the film a gritty, exhilarating realism rarely seen in modern cinema. Featuring interviews with the director and key department heads and filled with never-before-seen imagery from the shoot, plus concept art, storyboards, and other amazing visuals, The Making of Dunkirk is the ultimate insider’s look at one of the most anticipated films of 2017. Review: Behind the Scenes of Nolan’s Masterful War Opus - It’s always fun to read or browse through these Christopher Nolan film-art books, since nobody in the industry is making movies like him. Dunkirk is, in my opinion, one of the greatest War epics of all times, and it’s incredible to see all the effort that was put behind it by the maestro Chris Nolan and the many talented men and women behind the scenes. This book serves as a great collection item for cinema fans or Nolan fans, and gives great insight to the behind the scenes process of making this almost-Oscar-winning film. Serves as a great read or browsing through, and incredibly designed with a lot of great excerpts and pictures. Highly recommended. Review: They Came Home - I couldn't wait to receive this book. The "Miracle of Dunkirk" was not new to me. I ready knew of this rescue years and years ago when my father spoke of "Britain stood alone" and this was back in the 50's. When I matured, I started to delve into this subject purchasing books and alternative sides (i.e. DUNKIRK: The Men They Left Behind). Then I saw the movie and I actually left the theater in a daze. The book is so beautifully written with wonderful photography. There are only two drawbacks in my opinion. I was hoping for an actual script such as in THE Da VINCI CODE ILLUSTRATED EDITION where I could read the actual dialogue and notes. The other drawback was of the two page photo of the Spitfire with Tom Hardy wearing that bloody mask! Beautiful Spitfire, crummy mask!

On peut facilement se jeter dans la scène de tournage ...
On peut facilement se jeter dans la scène de tournage grâce à ce photobook. J'adore tous les dessins, concepts, textes... Chris Nolan et son équipe nous offrent à nouveau une expérience extraordinaire. N'hésitez pas à le commander, c'est un très bon investissement pour mieux comprendre comment l'un des meilleurs réalisateurs du monde accomplissait son premier film d'une vraie histoire. D'ailleurs je suis très contente de ce premier achat sur Amazon. Comme on l'a pas chez nous, j'avais peur que le colis soit mal expédié mais il est arrivé là dans une semaine.

If you loved the movie, you'll love this book!
This book gave me another level of respect for Christopher Nolan. It's very interesting to see all the picture of him swimming with the camera crew to get some of the shots. I was also surprised to see that most of this film was done practically. When watching it in theaters (on 70mm IMAX), it was hard for me to tell if the flying shots with all the planes were actually real or CGI. I was happy to see it all was done for real! I truly did enjoy this book. If you loved the movie, you'll love this book! No doubt in my mind! Very well done!

It gave me a much better appreciation of the film
I always liked Dunkirk a lot but I felt like it was a step down compared to other Nolan films. But after reading this book I realized how much effort went into making it and that it has its own enormous merits. A picture portraying Nolan floating in a dive suit in the middle of the ocean gives you an idea of the dedication he pours into his films. The book even pointed out a pretty obvios detail of the movie I had overlooked and that gives it another writing level. A great book about a great film.

One of the most complicated films ever made
Very great information and selection of pictures that give the reader more than a glimpse of how challenging this film was to make. For both fans of the film or viewers left puzzled by Christopher Nolan's approach, I would recommend reading what went into the making of this film. In a lot of ways, it's just as fascinating as the film itself.
