Il nuovo film di Joe Wright (Espiazione, Anna Karenina) è dedicato a Winston Churchill, nell’ora più scura della Seconda Guerra Mondiale.
Darkest Hour è interpretato con straordinaria capacità mimetica da Gary Oldman nei panni dello statista inglese, oltre che da Kristin Scott Thomas, Lily James, Stephen Dillane e Ben Mendelsohn.
A thrilling and inspiring true story begins on the eve of World War II as, within days of becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain, Winston Churchill (Academy Award-nominee Gary Oldman) must face one of his most turbulent and defining trials: exploring a negotiated peace treaty with Nazi Germany, or standing firm to fight for the ideals, liberty and freedom of a nation. As the unstoppable Nazi forces roll across Western Europe and the threat of invasion is imminent, and with an unprepared public, a skeptical King, and his own party plotting against him, Churchill must withstand his darkest hour, rally a nation, and attempt to change the course of world history.
L’uscita americana è prevista per il 22 novembre.
