Anthropoid

British filmmaker Sean Ellis reimagines ‘Operation Anthropoid’ as a stomach-churning, claustrophobic thriller, with stunningly-staged set pieces matched by impressive performances from leads Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan. A lesser-known piece of European history rendered with nuance and intelligence.
