Blitz
An emotional story about human resilience, BLITZ is a stirring, old-fashioned tale of survival during wartime! BLITZ, an authentic and astonishing recreation of London during its blitzkrieg by the Germans during World War II, pushes the artistry of Steve McQueen (12 YEARS A SLAVE) to ever more impressive levels. Working on a vast scale, McQueen tells his original tale from the parallel perspectives of working-class single mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) and her 9-year-old son, George (newcomer Elliott Heffernan), as they become separated within the labyrinth of a city under siege. Alternately overwhelming and tender, McQueen’s dazzling film offers a multicultural portrait of 1940s London too infrequently seen on screens. Ronan and Heffernan emotionally match one another beat for beat and the uniformly superb supporting cast fleshes out a film that feels positively Dickensian in its scope and storytelling. *OPEN CAPTIONS MONDAYBlitz showing at: November 20, 4:15 pmBlitz
