All Quiet on the Western Front tells the gripping story of a young German soldier on the Western Front of World War I. Paul and his comrades experience first-hand how the initial euphoria of war turns into desperation and fear as they fight for their lives, and each other, in the trenches. The film from director Edward Berger is based on the world renowned bestseller of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque.
FILM REVIEW
BARRY HERTZ, The Globe And Mail
"If nearly a century’s worth of cinema hasn’t already taught the hard-learned lesson that war is indeed hell, then a new version of All Quiet on the Western Front is here to remind you of this universal truth. Greet the news that Netflix has decided to fund a remake of the original, and perhaps still most potent, antiwar film with a shoulder shrug, if you wish. But strip the here-we-go-again cynicism away and we’re left with an impressive, if still somewhat familiar, act of grimly determined cinema. This new version of an old tale has the capacity to horrify you into shell-shocked pacifism, while delivering a few minor-key surprises along the way." For the full review please CLICK HERE.
