It’s part documentary; part mournful, part imaginative and occasionally surreal fiction.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThis celebrated film follows an ordinary young man, Tom, as he sets off to join Operation Over­lord (codename for the invasion of Normandy). The film segues between the intimacy of Tom’s ill-fated journey (his dalliance with a young woman, worries about his cocker spaniel, his reading of David Copperfield) and the grand, horrific spectacle of the actual D-Day invasion.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe film was made with the assistance of the Imperial War Museum, which gave Cooper access to its 39 million feet of archive footage. He spent around 3,000 hours viewing newsreel, captured German film and footage shot by soldiers and naval men. Working with writer Christopher Hud­son, they developed a narrative that could incorporate the researched footage.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e The result is utterly transporting.\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e• \u003cb\u003eEXTRAS \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e• Commentary\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e• Cast \u0026amp; Crew Interviews\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- End Description --\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size:12px;clear:both\" align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.sixbitsoftware.com\/images\/tagline.jpg\" align=\"absbottom\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Powered by SixBit\" longdesc=\"https:\/\/www.sixbitsoftware.com\/images\/tagline.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePowered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WOW Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45164300468419,"sku":"157857249180","price":16.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0214\/5004\/files\/57_04bd38e3-70ae-4bc5-991a-a4da63fa9cc5.jpg?v=1777022162","url":"https:\/\/wowmusic.com.au\/products\/overlord-d-day-6th-june-1944-dvd-new-1","provider":"WOW Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
