Opening Friday, March 27 at Film Stream’s Ruth Sokolof Theater, '71 takes place over a single night in the life of a young British soldier (Jack O’Connell) accidentally abandoned by his unit following a riot on the streets of Belfast in 1971. Unable to tell friend from foe, and increasingly wary of his own comrades, he must survive the night alone and find his way to safety through a disorientating, alien and deadly landscape. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times calls Yann Demange’s directorial debut ,“A tense thriller…that so adroitly joins physical intensity, emotional authenticity and political acuity that you may find yourself forgetting to take a breath.”
