The Art of Film with Ian Nathan, 8.00pm, Sky Arts
Streaming on NOW
As the 20th Century saw cinema grow from out of the nickelodeons and into a global culture, the world fell into years of international war.
Ian Nathan examines how cinema depicted the conflict, both as it happened and in retrospect in the years that followed.
We see how the first world war was dramatised in 1930’s All Quiet on the Western Front (above), and how cinema was used as propaganda during World War II in films such as 1941’s 49th Parallel, before the likes of Against the Wind (1948) and Odette (1950) told stories of espionage, sabotage and resistance after WWII had ended.
