Amoeba Music

As World War I was raging in 1917, patriotic fervor drove small-town German teenager Paul Bäumer (Felix Kammerer) and a few classmates to enlist and fight for the Kaiser's glory. Active combat in Northern France, however, would disabuse them of their romantic notions in harrowing ways. Stunning first native-language take on the Erich Maria Remarque staple co-stars Albrecht Schuch, Aaron Hilmer, Moritz Klaus, Edin Hasanovic, and Daniel Brühl. 148 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: German and French; Subtitles: English. In German and French with English subtitles. Two-disc set.
