2LP Coloured Vinyl / 180 gm Audiophile Vinyl / GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH LEATHER LOOK LAMINATE / INCLUDES 8-PAGE BOOKLET WITH MOVIE STILLS & LINER NOTES BY DIRECTOR SAM MENDES / 7-TIME BAFTA AWARD WINNING, 3-TIME ACADEMY AWARD WINNING AND 2-TIME GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD WINNING MOVIE / ACADEMY AWARD, BAFTA AWARD AND GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD NOMINATED SOUNDTRACK / SCORE BY THOMAS NEWMAN (SKYFALL, AMERICAN BEAUTY, SIX FEET UNDER) / LIMITED EDITION ON TRANSLUCENT BLUE COLOURED VINYL / At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them. 1917 is directed by Sam Mendes, who wrote the screenplay with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Showtime’s Penny Dreadful). Rotten Tomatoes critical consensus reads: “Hard-hitting, immersive, and an impressive technical achievement, 1917 captures the trench warfare of World War I with raw, startling immediacy.” The music to the movie is composed by Thomas Newman (The Shawshank Redemption, American Beauty, Road to Perdition). Newman has received a whopping 15 Oscar bids throughout his career, including one for this epic score. Since the film is designed to be told in one continuous shot from cinematographer Roger Deakins, Newman’s pulse-pounding score often serves as a unique form of editing. The music cuts off during dramatic cues, ramps up in battle scenes and, in one breathtaking moment, becomes almost operatic as MacKay runs through war ruins to escape being seen from enemy flares. 1917 is available as a limited edition on translucent blue coloured vinyl. The package includes an 8-page booklet with movie stills and liner notes by Sam Mendes / Tracklist: Side A: 1. 1917 2. Up the Down Trench 3. Gehenna 4. A Scrap of Ribbon Side B: 1.
