G. W. Pabst brought the war movie into a new era with his first sound film, a mercilessIy realistic depiction of the nightmare that scarred a generation, in the director s native Germany and beyond. Digging into the trenches with four infantrymen stationed in France in the final months of WorId War I, Pabst iIlustrates the harrowing ordeals of battle with unprecedented naturaIism, as the men are worn away in body and spirit by firefights, shelIing, and the disillusion that greets them on the home front. Long unavailable, the newly restored Westfront 1918 is a visceral, sobering antiwar statement that is as urgent today as when it was made.
