Synopsis:
No dialogue. All adrenaline. Limbo presents an intense, monochrome edit of Dunkirk as a non-stop series of events involving only the perspectives of soldiers at the beach. This is NOT a silent film since music, background voices, and sounds of stress still remain. But key dialogue are removed to serve the creative decisions.

Intentions:
Maple Films’ “Finest Hour” is clearly one of the best fanedit supercuts ever made. It just shows you how creative editors themselves contribute meaningful perspectives to the cinema canon. There’s nothing touching that, and I’m not planning on ever getting to that level. When I revisited Dunkirk, I felt it was a top 3 Nolan movie. It did everything you know Nolan does- the characters longing out of situations, the three-arc intercutting climaxes, the whole time-dilation mindfuckery thing he does- all the greatest hits. He does them very well. Though I thought, what if we kept at a singular point of view? Would it be possible to maintain the suspense and intensity if we just stayed with the characters on the beach? That was where this edit came from. I went the opposite way from the Maple Films’ magnum opus, maximalist dramatic approach- I went with action, high-octane, boots-on-the-sand approach.

Change List:
Main Changes: 1. Added 1930’s WB logo animation at the beginning. 2. Movie adjusted for monochrome black and white. Small adjustment to emphasize certain tones. 3. Changed text style to “Silentina”, a typeface used on silent films. 4. Removed all scenes involving Mark Rylance, the boys, and “The Sea.” 5. Removed most scenes involving Tom Hardy, Jack Lowden, and “The Air.” 6. Removed most of Sir Kenneth Branagh scenes. 7. Removed dialogue. Some key dialogue replaced with intertitles (like in old silent films), which was fun to pull off. 8. In the epilogue as Tommy is reading the newspaper in the train, the movie transitions to color. When Tommy reads Churchill’s remarks, I kept that audio in for effect up until the end. Tom Hardy's scenes remain in black/white- his character never makes it home, so he stays behind stranded in "Limbo" sadly (gleem).
