Spoils of War: The Saga of the Coventry Stained Glass Windows is a fascinating dive into a lesser-known chapter of World War II history. The film’s tone is contemplative, almost haunting, as it explores how these exquisite windows vanished from Coventry's cathedral before the bombing. The pacing allows for a blend of interviews, archival footage, and atmospheric cinematography that keeps you engaged. What stands out is the layered storytelling, presenting conflicting narratives of their journey to Iceland. It invites you to ponder the fragility of art amidst war, making it distinct in how it merges history with the mysteries of human choices. There's an almost palpable sense of loss and wonder that lingers long after the credits roll.
