A hidden Kubrick gem.

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2019)

While not one of Kubrick's more famous films, "Paths of Glory" is right up there with his other war films in terms of its message. Kubrick has a way of making the whole aspect of the war absolutely absurd. While men are fighting down in the wretched conditions of the trenches, generals are holed up in fantastic palaces, running the war. There is a stark difference between those directing the war and those fighting it.
