Overlord (1975)

Can't say I've ever heard of this one, let alone seen it.Â But it sounds interesting as hell.

Seamlessly interweaving archival war footage and a fictional narrative, Stuart Cooperâs immersive account of one 20-year-oldâs journey from basic training to the battle front lines at D-day brings all the terrors and isolation of war to its viewers with jolting authenticity. Overlord, impressionistically shot by Stanley Kubrickâs longtime cinematographer John Alcott, is both a document of WWII and a dreamlike meditation on manâs smallness in a large, incomprehensible machine.

Gotta get a hold of this one.
