ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT

NETFLIX FILM

Terrific German version of Erich Maria Remarque’s 1928 classic anti-war novel that has been generating awards buzz and has been nominated for nine Oscars including Best Picture, plus 14 Baftas. A gruelling First World War story, it follows 17-year-old Paul Bäumer (Felix Kammerer, above), inspired to join the German army after hearing a rousing speech. He lies about his age to join up and is thrilled to head off to war, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the enemy are going to be trying very hard to blow him to smithereens. Available now
