Steve Mcqueens latest film, “Blitz”, serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war, a message underscored by the Oscar-winning director’s observation that people increasingly “look away.”

The film, which opened the London Film Festival, follows nine-year-old George, who embarks on a challenging journey to reunite with his mother, played by Saoirse Ronan, and grandfather, portrayed by Paul Weller, in East London during the Nazis’ bombing campaign of 1940–41.

By telling the story through the eyes of a child, McQueen aimed to capture the “perversity” of war without the distractions that adult perspectives can bring.
