Jacob Elordi had a big year in movies in 2023 with Priscilla and Saltburn, but his newest role coming in 2024 is already even more exciting than that.
The Narrow Road to the Deep Northshould also appeal to history buffs, chronicling events like the construction of the Burma Railway in 1943 and the experiences of a prisoner in a Thai-Burmese camp during World War II, which haven’t been dramatized much in film or television. With its sweeping, decades-spanning story,The Narrow Road to the Deep Northshould depict everything from the brutality of war, the fragility of life, and the futility of love through the perspective of an Australian doctor and prisoner of war.
The Narrow Road to the Deep Northreleases on Prime Video on April 18 in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
