This Memorial Day, stream these five great war movies, from a recent Oscar-winner about the Holocaust to a classic comedy about nuclear warfare.
War remains an inescapable part of the human experience, and filmmakers have sought to capture, represent, and interpret its many facets through a cinematic lens for as long as the art form has existed. As a result, there’s no shortage of war movies that offer a diverse array of perspectives on and depictions of the realities of war and its devastating effects on societies and individuals.
Recommended Videos Incendies Before creating spectacular sci-fi hits like Arrival and Dune, director Denis Villeneuve crafted the underrated war drama Incendies. It’s centered on the grueling journey of twins Jeanne and Simon , who travel to their mother’s homeland following her death to fulfill her last wishes. They also hope to understand her cryptic letters and learn more about their family, but soon stumble upon a startling truth about their history.
Director Jonathan Glazer’s war film is a genuine standout in the genre, as it shatters ideas of what perpetrators of injustice and brutal acts look and sound like. Its depiction of the banality of evil through the Höss family is shockingly simple, yet deeply unsettling, with mundane scenes like Hedwig trying on a coat and comments about plants covering the wall becoming sources of horror.
