All Quiet on the Western Front review - Luca Dahse, City of London Freemens School
Erich Maria Remarque’s magnum opus 'All Quiet on the Western Front' has previously been adapted twice for the silver screen. Once into an Oscar-winning silent film all the way back in 1930, and once into a less critically acclaimed British-speaking movie in 1979. It seemed a tragedy that perhaps the most important piece of war media to come out of the 20th century had not been translated into its original language of German, but tragedy no more, as the dying days of October produced the Netflix-backed German adaptation spearheaded by German director Edward Berger, known for the brilliant 'Deutschland 83' series.
