About

There’s a wartime feel to the first Truth & Movies of the new year, as Michael Leader, Hannah Woodhead and Adam Woodward gear up for Sam Mendes’ immersive real-time World War One drama 1917, inspired by his own grandfather’s experiences. Next up, Kiwi funnyman Taika Waititi skewers the Führer in Jojo Rabbit, starring Roman Griffin Davis, Scarlett Johansson and Sam Rockwell – but is it really an “anti-hate satire”? Staying with World War Two, we revisit Charlie Chaplin’s classic Nazi send-up from 1940, The Great Dictator, in our Film Club.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
