What is 22 July about?
Set in Utøya Island outside of Oslo, the movie tells the story of right-wing terrorist Anders Behring Breivik when he murdered 77 children who were all at a summer camp to debate how to make the world a better place.
The graphic and relatively brief depiction of the bombing and shootings comes fairly early in the film, leaving two hours for Greengrass to deal with the survivor’s stories, the court case, the political maelstrom that followed and, of course, the mind of Breivik himself.
Judging from previous films Bloody Sunday, Captain Phillips, the 9/11 drama and United 93, Paul Greengrass is an expert in producing harrowing images of tragedies in great detail.
