Summing up the insanity of war.

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 1998)

Paths of Glory is one of the finest war (anti-war) movies ever made. With an excellent cast, well-defined characters, and a story that focuses on the age-old strategy of finding a scapegoat for one's failures, this film highlights the futility of trench warfare and those who persisted in wasting a generation of Europe's finest young men. Without giving away the plot, I will say it is worthwhile to pay close attention to Dax's defense of the four men accused of cowardness under fire. Of course the charge is false, and....no, go view the film!
