good movie

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2020)

In an age of overblown war-epics with patriotic themes and explosions around every corner, this gem from 1957 still sticks out of this Overabundance of war- movies.
Paths of Glory isnt just an amazing war movie, probably the best to tackle the First World War, but a smart and geniusely paced story about courage, the horrors of war and the suffering of all the brave men who fought in this gruesome war, without ever beeing overly patriotic. These motives and themes make it an excellent example of social criticism.
