Blitz

The indefatigable Oscar-winner Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave, Small Axe, Occupied City) recreates London in 1940-1941 under German bombing. Citizens hunker down in subway stations and children are sent to safety with relatives in the countryside. But nine-year-old George does not want to leave home; he returns to London, much to the distress of his mother who goes looking for him all over the city. Blitz opened the London Film Festival and closed the New York Film Festival.
