The Art of Film with Ian Nathan
Depiction of War
Season 1 Episode 4 of 6
A look at how film-makers have depicted war, from the style they choose to how they expand understanding of the nature of war and humanity. Ian reveals how the First World War was dramatised in 1930's All Quiet on the Western Front, how cinema was used as propaganda during the Second World War in films like 1941's 49th Parallel, before films like Against the Wind (1948) and Odette (1950) told stories of espionage, sabotage and resistance after the war had ended
