Synopsis
Shot in 1975, OVERLORD is a little-seen drama about a soldier going off to fight in World War II. Director Stuart Cooper utilizes real footage from the battle itself to add a strong dose of realism to the movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars OVERLORD , 8 Jul 2008
By BILL "BILL" (STUDLAND ,DORSET UK) - See all my reviews
Well its not SAVING PRIVATE RYAN because there are no computer generated images just actual war footage.
Its a one off WAR FILM and for 1975 was way ahead of its time so I'll rate it as 5 STARS . If you've ever been to the D-DAY beaches and stood there in silence with a lump in your throat, then you'll need to see this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten classic, 7 Mar 2008
By Mr. T. J. Denman (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the finest British war movies ever made. Marvelously, and seamlessly, it combines contemporary footage from the Imperial War Museum film archives with a simple, but profoundly moving, story of two conscripts preparing for D Day. Some wonderful extras included as well. Utterly compelling.

3.0 out of 5 stars "I don't think I shall live to see the end of this war.", 28 Nov 2008
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
"It sounds silly, but this war has killed so many people already. I'm just going to be another one, of that I'm sure. I can feel it, the way you feel it when you're going to get a cold."

Stuart Cooper's big screen directorial career has been curious one. As an actor he was one of the original Dirty Dozen, which may have helped him secure Donald Sutherland for his almost unseen Anglo-Canadian thriller The Disappearance - a title that all too accurately describes the fate of his intriguing, though not always successful low budget anti-war film. Critically slated on its minute original release and disappearing from distribution for more than 30 years before being rediscovered in the States, it focuses on one British private in the months leading up to the Normandy landings as he fantasises of the worst happening. It's a small, minimalist film, its attempt to widen its scope through footage from the Imperial War Museum (who commissioned the film) not as successful as the austere black and white photography. Despite using matching lenses and film stock that would have been used in the era the footage is less than seamlessly integrated, which can be distracting even in a film this deliberately stylised. Yet there's much here that is effective, be it the dream imagery of a kiss on an empty landing craft or the film's convincing portrait of the mixture of boredom and fear as the invasion draws closer - "Die of boredom, die of battle, what's the difference?" While it's hard to call the film a complete success, it is ultimately quietly haunting and affecting.

Not for all tastes, but certainly a worthwhile release with some good extras on the DVD.
