Review of All Quiet on the Western Front (1930) by Mark L — 27 Jun 2018
With splendid cinematography, terrific sound, great dialogue, highly realistic battle sequences and an important, strongly conveyed anti-war statement, All Quiet on the Western Front is the ultimate WWI film which is also magnificently acted by Lew Ayres who was shamefully Oscar snubbed for his terrific performance.
The film is long, but never uninvolving as it's superbly paced and brilliantly directed by Lewis Milestone. It's a very emotional, tragic and quintessential look into the horrors and foolishness of war.
This is a groundbreaking film that ranks among the finest Best Picture winners ever and is in my opinion the best war film of all time, period.
