Ezra back again with another film I’ve seen that’s relevant to this unit.

Benediction, a 2022 film, follows the life of Siegfried Sassoon. It’s meant to be a “biographical romantic drama film”, and, if I recall correctly, doesn’t focus a ton on the war. But the war is definitely a looming presence. The reason it’s relevant to this unit is, well, obviously it’s a biography of Sassoon, but also it covers Sassoon’s meeting of Wilfred Owen in the hospital facility and their time in that facility.

(It also stars Jack Lowden as Sassoon which, if you saw my post on The Passing Bells, you shall know is a benefit to me because, hey, I think he’s pretty cute.)

Again, disclaimer that I’ve only seen this once, when it first came out (also I was on a plane at the time), so if you don’t like it or if it’s actually horrible, don’t come for me.
