Harry Gregson-Williams's score significantly amplifies the film's emotional resonance. John Mathieson's cinematography is stunning and intricately detailed. Arthur Max's production design reflects thorough research and authenticity. The costumes by Janty Yates and David Crossman are convincingly realistic. The visual effects are of the highest quality.
