Seamlessly interweaving archival war footage and a fictional narrative, this immersive account by STUART COOPER of one twenty-year-old's journey from basic training to the front lines of D-Day brings to life all the terrors and isolation of war with jolting authenticity. Overlord, impressionistically shot by Stanley Kubrick's long-time cinematographer JOHN ALCOTT, is both a document of World War II and a dreamlike meditation on human smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine.Special Features:Restored high-definition digital transfer, supervised and approved by director Stuart Cooper, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackAudio commentary featuring Cooper and actor Brian StirnerMining the Archive, a 2007 video piece featuring archivists from London's Imperial War Museum detailing the footage used in the filmCapa Influences Cooper, a 2007 photo essay featuring Cooper on photographer Robert CapaCameramen at War, the British Ministry of Information's 1943 film tribute to newsreel and service film unit cameramenA Test of Violence, Cooper's 1969 short film about the Spanish artist Juan GenovésGermany Calling, a 1941 Ministry of Information propaganda film, clips of which appear in OverlordExcerpts from the journals of two D-day soldiers, read by StirnerTrailerPLUS: A booklet featuring an essay by critic Kent Jones, a short history of the Imperial War Museum, and excerpts from the Overlord novelization by Cooper and Christopher HudsonClick Images to Enlarge
