ARROMANCHES 360 Normandy, France — Picture Preview

Posted on by Amy Munice

We feel surrounded as the D-Day soldiers did-- 

Sounds of battle are everywhere...

Exhortations from Winston Churchill and other wartime leaders compel us forward...

Arromanches 360 -- goes beyond surround sound to also envelop us in a circle of moving images, hence the name "360".  We experience this film in a standing room only amphitheater, somewhat aware of the community around us.  It is a shared experience--- not a silo of virtual reality.

A panorama of the calm harbor of Arromanches today contrasts to the carnage of the film.

The film finale is a musical plea for peace--- perhaps the most fitting of all tributes to war.
