Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for history buffs. If you loved All Quiet on the Western Front or Paths of Glory, start here.
The mood
Intense.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 50 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1932: an older pace and style.

The young and patriotic student Demachy joins the French army in 1914 to defend his country. But he and his comrades soon experience the terrifying, endless trench war in Champagne, where more and more wooden crosses have to be erected for this cannon fodder.
