Fritz Kampers, Gustav Diessl, Hans-Joachim Mobis. This early talking film spares no horror in the poignant tale of disillusioned German soldiers stationed in France near the end of WWI. The realism is overwhelming as German director G.W. Pabst dictates the catastrophic effects of the physical and emotional trauma experienced by all. This new hi-def digital restoration features an hour-long French TV broadcast of WWI veterans reacting to the film in 1969, a 2016 interview with film scholar Jan-Christopher Horak, and an essay by author and critic Luc Sante. In German with English subtitles. 1930/b&w/96 min/NR/fullscreen.
