All Quiet On The Western Front
War is hell in "All Quiet on the Western Front," the Oscar-winning Netflix adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's World War I novel.

Edward Berger's 2022 adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque's 1929 novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" is among the greatest anti-war films of all time, with an inventive and poignant score, truly beautiful cinematography, and a uniquely German perspective on a (German) story that's already been adapted twice for U.S. audiences.

Among those awards are nominations for both Best International Feature Film and Best Picture, which is a pretty massive deal for a German-language film that quietly debuted on Netflix.
