AtonementDouble Sided US One Sheet, Rolled, 27 x 40 inches
Ian McEwan's novel is a beautiful and heartbreaking piece of writing, but I think Joe Wright does a really good job of adapting. The film is underpinned by three really strong performances from James McAvoy, Kiera Knightley and Saoirse Ronan and Wright directs well, capturing the stiff British class system well and injecting some flair (the 5 and a half minute long tracking shot on Dunkirk beach is a bit of a technical marvel). A special mention for the superb score which won the Oscar too - from the first few rhythmical notes, it grabs your ears and compliments the film completely. The US one sheet is pretty similar to the quad in composition, but I prefer the detail in the shots of the characters and the background detail of Dunkirk. |
