The Battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands

Captures the human experience of 20th-century naval warfare in a direct and palpable way. Brilliant production design. I only wish its narrative was more streamlined and focused to carry this emotional weight.

Britain's own Battleship Potemkin (1925)! A 1927 reconstruction of the 1914 battles of Coronel and Falkland Islands, where most of the action happens on-board the British battleships! Director Walter Summers handles this ambitious project beyond expectations!The battles creates a feeling of urgent reality. The sense of distress and drama as shots are fired and boats sinking makes this a nail-biting experience. A bit long, this is an explosive piece of UK film history!
