Germany’s entry for the 2023 Academy Awards, All Quiet on the Western Front, promises a visually stunning, gripping tale of loss and war. Adapted from Erich Maria Remarque’s best-selling novel — the first time it’s been filmed in the source text’s original language — the film follows a group of young soldiers on the Western Front throughout World War I. Daniel Brühl, aka Marvel’s Baron Zemo, appears as one of the diplomats negotiating Germany’s eventual surrender.
Set to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 12, Edward Berger’s anticipated feature promises a gut-wrenching, enigmatic, and tear-inducing whirlwind.
All Quiet on the Western Front releases across select theaters on Oct. 14, and streams on Netflix Oct. 28.
