Director Sam Mendes speaks to Sky News about following James Bond films Skyfall and Spectre with the immersive war drama 1917.
Next week, it is expected to be included in the Oscar shortlists, too.
"You know, just feeling every second passing, taking every step with them and understanding geography and distance and difficulty and all those things," he says. Mackay agrees that the way the film is shot gives audiences an immersive experience."You can't leave these men... once you subconsciously understand this is in real time you know that whatever's going on, however sort of treacherous or enjoyable, you can't get away from it, you are with them all of the time," he says.
"You know, what we had to do was just carry on. In the final cut of the film, there are mistakes in the film, whether its slips, trips, bumping into people, but that's something that makes it authentic and realistic to how it would have been, because that was what was happening to us on the day."
