Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) by Michael H — 25 Nov 2014
Amazing cinematography and visual composition. From the opening shot which segues from a parade into a classroom with the parade seen through the windows in the background to stunning recreations of battle, the dynamic, detailed mise en scene is a wonder to behold.
The story follows a group of friends and acquaintances through WWI. Performances are occasionally a little stilted, but not often and not much. There are effective dramatic and tender moments in a film that explores the dehumanizing horror and drudgery of war.
