Westfront 1918 (1930)

A group of German infantrymen of the First World War live out their lives in the trenches of France. They find brief entertainment and relief in a village behind the lines, but primarily terror fills their lives as the attacks on and from the French army ebb and flow. One of the men, Karl, goes home on leave only to discover the degradation forced on his family by wartime poverty. He returns to the lines in time to face an enormous attack by French tanks.

Another great WWI film! Considering its age it's absolutely incredible how well this film brings war cruelty in the trenches on the screen. Like fellow WWI film All Quiet on the Western Front (with whom it shares many more similarities) it only shows personal impacts on the soldiers and not whole sceneries (like the Omaha Beach in Saving Private Ryan) which makes it even more affecting. The use of explosions, smoke, sound and blood is well orchestrated and the black and white gives the film a natural bleakness. The war scenes in Westfront were even better than the ones in the US Best Picture winner. It wasn't quite as devastating as AQOTWF though. The story evolves around four infanterists (rather three because one of them is merely a side character) who have to face difficult situations in the trenches as well as in their personal life. You don't really get to know them very good and you don't even learn their full names but you can see what horrible experiences they gain.

The thinking man's All Quiet on the Western Front. A coruscating portrait of the transcendent desolation caused by war.

Monday, October 31, 2011 (1930) Westfront 1918 (In German with English subtitles) WAR Realistic anti- war film centered on the affects of 3 German soldiers while fighting against the French during the first World War. Footnote: When Hitler came into power, he practically banned this film 3 for its depiction of how ugly war really looks like, and that it was coincidently made during the same time as Oscar winner "All Quiet On The Western Front"! Realistic in terms of emotions and does an excellent job in identifying with it's characters. It is the first talking picture of the critically acclaimed director of GW Pabst. 3 out of 4 stars

While many of the images in this film which were praised back in their time for being unsettling lost their bite with time, there are still some standouts such as a dead soldier's hand sticking out of the mud, the tank scene, and its ending. Even though, like other reviewers have noted, it's light on character development, I felt like some of the characters had likable qualities to them such as the student for his bravery and Karl due to his experience during his leave. I also liked the acting. Since many of the actors were veterans, their twitches at explosions seemed to recall the terror they once knew on the battlefield. Overall, some scenes lost their impact with time, but plenty more scenes make this an enjoyable experience.

Rather than force common war story beats onto the characters, Pabst employs a more observational tone. His camera was free to move along the surface of the trenches, giving the full wide expanse of what the soldiers were experiencing.
