Narvik

From London to Penzance, at the far western end of England, or even from Stockholm across the Arctic Circle to the port town of Narvik in the Norwegian Arctic.

In an awards season where the German director Edward Berger’s antiwar drama “All Quiet on the Western Front” has garnered considerable attention, the Norwegian director Erik Skjoldbjaerg’s “Narvik” — another story streaming on Netflix about the toxicity of nationalism — has flown surprisingly under the radar.

Apart from the sterling battle sequences, where big explosions arrive in shocking waves and young men are quickly snuffed out by the inherent apathy of conflict, “Narvik” stands as the rare war film to focus on a woman.

The yacht has been stranded at the port of Narvik since 15 February.

To me, the charge that the author of Gallipoli and Narvik could display terrible military judgment is baked.
