Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
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.

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

Rating: 5/5 --
Though Westfront 1918's plot lacks the conventional pacing of the similar American production All Quiet on the Western Front, its narrative is thoroughly modernist as a breakdown of coherence and context.

Product Description:
German soldiers in the trenches try to hold their position against French attacks. Desperate action alternates with periods of complete silence when suddenly the French make a tank attack of overwhelming strength. German and French soldiers die side by side, united in their deaths.
