Sturgill Simpson Presents Sound & Fury (Netflix) takes place in a world torn apart by incomprehensible wars. The 41-minute feature begins with a gorgeously animated, but brutal attack on a monastery. Years later, a Ronin seeks revenge on the perpetrators. Through various vignettes (most of which are fully animated) viewers experience the war from the perspective of various individuals (such as a skateboarding scavenger and a slave worker in a forced labor camp), while the Ronin story remains the movie’s central thread.

The fourth and final season of Amazon’s The Man in the High Castle finds the world on the brink of chaos as rebels in Japanese-held territories are bleeding the empire dry, and the Nazis strive for ultimate power over not just their empire and the territories of a crumbling Japan, but also over the multiverse itself.

Based on the classic satirical novel of the same name, Catch-22 (Hulu) follows Yossarian and his bomber squadron as they fight their way up through Italy in the final act of the European campaign of WWII. For Yossarian and his compatriots, it seems as if the war will never end as the number of missions they must fly in order to be sent home is constantly raised. Yossarian tries every trick that he can think of (except for some of the most obvious ones) to try to avoid the missions and postpone what he sees as a pointless death in a war that is nearly won.

Picture
In Dunkirk (2017, currently on HBO), during WWII 400,000 British and French soldiers are trapped in the city and on the beaches of Dunkirk France, surrounded by the Nazi army. They  face a harrowing situation: near-constant attacks from the land and air have rendered the British Navy incapable of rescuing all of them, but the loss of such a large force would cripple the British war effort and precipitate the invasion of  England. As the trapped army becomes more certain of their doom, soldiers attempt ever more desperate measures to escape France and reach their homes that are a short, but oh-so-far trip across the English Channel. Their only hope of escape lies in the arrival of a cobbled together flotilla of civilian boats operated by fishermen and yachtsmen.
