"Churchill - The Darkest Hour" is a historical drama from 2017 that focuses on some of the most important moments in the life of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The film shows Churchill (played by Gary Oldman) in 1940, when he has just become Prime Minister and Britain is in a desperate fight against Nazi Germany.
While the film is based on a true story, there are also fictional elements added to condense the plot and increase the emotional content. For example, the film shows Churchill struggling internally with his role as a leader in a time of crisis and in his conflicts with other leaders of his time.
The film was directed by Joe Wright, known for his work on such films as "Abbitte" and "Anna Karenina." Bruno Delbonnel's camerawork emphasizes the somber atmosphere and oppressive moments conveyed by the film.
In addition to Gary Oldman as Churchill, Kristin Scott Thomas plays important roles as his wife Clementine Churchill and Lily James as his secretary Elizabeth Layton. The film received positive reviews and was nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture and for Oldman's performance as Best Actor in a Leading Role.
