Review of Paths of Glory (1957) by Rory D — 10 Jun 2009
Another masterpiece from cinematic legend Stanley Kubrick. Paths of Glory is a film that can be described with one word: Perfect. It tells the story of a general whose force falls back under fire in an impossible attack and how their superiors decide to make an example out of them. Paths of Glory is an anti-war classic and one of the most compelling films I have ever seen. Stanley Kubrick first impressed me with The Killing, which is my favorite film, and then I saw this film which completely took my breath away. Its a powerful film with an everlasting message and brilliant performances. Kirk Douglas is spectacular as Col. Dax. This film is an American masterpiece and a film you might never forget.
Paths of Glory is an American classic. Its a spellbinding cinematic experience and one of the greatest films you will ever see. This film is perfect in every way. An astonishing and breathtaking achievement. Paths of Glory is a brilliantly made and masterfully crafted film.
