"The searing Paths Of Glory continues to impress with its striking blend of formal brilliance, economical storytelling and emotional directness" - BBC REVIEW

WHAT WE SAY

Conventional wisdom says this film is a masterpiece.

For once you can trust conventional wisdom: Kubrick just has that special something without resorting to the lowest common denominator.

Don't be turned of by it's WWI setting, it's an amazing piece of antiwar propaganda without any of the cliches you might expect.
