Overlord - The Criterion Collection Blu-Ray (2016) Nicholas Ball, Cooper (DIR)

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 s
