TRIPLE PASS: WAR COMPOSED BY HANS ZIMMER
DUNKIRK
THU 11 APR | 6PM | Arc Cinema
2017 | M | 106 mins | DCP | FRA, NL, UK, US | D: Christopher Nolan
Between 26 May and 4 June 1940, over 300,000 soldiers were evacuated from Dunkirk following the German invasion of France. Written and directed by Christopher Nolan and starring a large ensemble cast, this epic historical war thriller depicts the infamous retreat across the English Channel, amplified by a magnificent Hans Zimmer score.
Zimmer’s score heightens the film’s suspense – including through the use of ‘Shepard tones’ that create the illusion of an ever-ascending pitch. Dunkirk was nominated for eight Academy Awards, winning Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Film Editing.
‘…the soundtrack stands on its own as a defining part of the film. It's an auditory masterpiece’ – Vox

PEARL HARBOR
FRI 12 APR | 6PM | Arc Cinema
2001| M | 183 mins | DCP | US | D: Michael Bay
This 2001 blockbuster presents an epic retelling of the 1941 Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, which drew America into the Second World War. Directed by Michael Bay with gripping performances from Ben Affleck, Josh Hartnett and Kate Beckinsale, the film blends elements of the romance, war and historical genres with a soaring Hans Zimmer score.
Piano and strings feature heavily in Zimmer’s achingly beautiful score, counted among Classic FM’s ‘best Hans Zimmer soundtracks’. A hit at the box office, Pearl Harbor was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning Best Sound Editing.
‘The film’s immense cast and crew… blend artistry and technology to create a blockbuster entertainment that has passion, valor and tremendous action’ – Los Angeles Times

THE THIN RED LINE (35mm)
SUN 14 APR | 1PM | Arc Cinema
1998| M | 170 mins | 35mm | US | D: Terrence Malick
Terrence Malick captures both the staggering scale of war and the intimacy of individual stories in this fictionalisation of the Guadalcanal Campaign during the Second World War. Critics praised this philosophical exploration of the effects of war, adapted from James Jones’ autobiographical novel and enriched by a powerful yet tender Hans Zimmer score.
The film’s climax is heightened by Hans Zimmer’s ’Journey to the Line’: an influential composition that has become ubiquitous across film, television and games. Jesse Kino-Goodin (CBC Radio) describes it as ‘a universally emotional piece of music that, in its simplicity, hits you in the very place you need it to hit.’
The Thin Red Line was shot on location in Queensland, Australia and in the Solomon Islands. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.
‘It wrestles with complexity, speaks to us in poetry, weaves multiple narrative strands into a tapestry, opens the festering wounds of war and gazes inside without blinking’ – Film.com
