Episdoe 5: Paths of Glory (1957)

Welcome back to Film Haven Reviews! This week we we're continuing the theme of "WWI Movies" with the Stanley Kubrick classic Paths of Glory! Unsurprisingly I loved this film! Instead of the All Quiet on the Western Front approach of the "sweeping epic", Paths of Glory breaks down one scenario and pulls out moral ponderances on the nature of power and the struggles between class amidst one of the world's deadliest conflicts. I gave this a 9/10 for its deep messaging, incredible production design, and quick pace (coming in at a brisk screentime of 88 minutes), not to mention the all star acting from Kirk Douglass. For my full written review feel free to follow my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/film_haven_reviews/
