from netflix All quiet in the west front is an adaptation of the classic World War I novel of the same name by veteran German infantryman and famed author Erich Maria Remarque. Remarque published it in 1929 and it continues to be taught in school curricula around the world, largely because of its sobering account of the futility of war.
As Variety reports on the film’s synopsis,
“The story follows teenagers Paul Baumer and his friends Albert and Muller, who voluntarily enlist in the German Army, riding a wave of patriotic fervor that quickly dissipates once they face the brutal realities of life on the front lines. Paul’s preconceived ideas about the enemy and the rights and wrongs of the conflict soon crumble. However, in the midst of the countdown to the Armistice, Paul must continue to fight to the end, with no other purpose than to satisfy the desire of the high command to end the war with a German offensive.
Producer Malte Grunert commented on the importance and relevance of this film:
“’All Quiet on the Western Front’ to this day is, in fact, the definitive novel about the war and its utter insanity. War knows no heroes. One hundred years after its publication, ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ has retained all of its impact and power.
Edward Berger also stated:
“This German worldwide bestseller is able to convey the inhuman terror of war perhaps more impressively than any other literary work. For me, creating his first German film adaptation is one of the most exciting challenges of all.”
