Overview
About the Film
All Quiet on the Western Front is a 2022 German anti-war film directed by Edward Berger, a new adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's seminal 1929 novel. Felix Kammerer stars as Paul Baumer, a 17-year-old German student who enlists in the Imperial German Army in 1917, swept up in nationalistic fervor and dreams of glory, and is immediately confronted with the horrifying reality of trench warfare on the Western Front — mud, rats, gas attacks, machine guns, and the senseless death of friends who were boys only weeks before. Edward Berger's adaptation was the first German-language film version of the novel, and its perspective from the German side gave the story a different emotional texture than the 1930 American original.
Volker Bertelmann's score, featuring an industrial, percussive three-note motif, was deliberately dissonant and oppressive. The film won four Academy Awards including Best International Feature Film, and earned over $120 million equivalent in streaming viewership on Netflix.
