So, this one is pretty fascinating. Jeremy Deller’s 'We’re Here Because We’re Here' is a documentary that gives this deep dive into a live art installation that marked a hundred years since the Battle of the Somme. It’s not just about the historical context; it’s really about how art interacts with memory and community. The pacing has a reflective quality, almost meditative at times, as you watch the performers engage with the public. The atmosphere is heavy but respectful, with the almost haunting presence of the soldiers’ stories lingering throughout. What stands out is the use of everyday people as performers, which adds a raw, genuine touch. It’s unique in how it merges art with history, making you think about war and remembrance in a different light.
