One way the film places viewers up close to its fraught battle scenes is through its varied color palette. “The soldiers’ uniforms were designed to be camouflaged and blend in,” Friend says. “So, we would find any excuse to add a pop of color.” For example, when Paul and his comrades find themselves under attack from a tank division, the vehicles appear from behind a dramatic cloud of yellow smoke. “I don’t know if that color is historically correct,” Friend says. “It was dreamt up in a hotel suite between Ed [Berger, director] and me as we did visual notes and thought, ‘What horrible, acrid color can we introduce that will pop?’ We didn’t want the film to have that desaturated, almost black-and-white ‘war movie’ feel that has been visually exhausted.” — The American Society of Cinematographers, November 2022

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022), directed by Edward Berger, follows Paul Bäumer, an 18 year-old German boy who volunteers to fight in WW1, fueled by discourses of patriotism and promises of a heroic status. Only when he's pushed to the front lines of the battlefield and faces the real horrors of war, he realizes there's nothing honorable about dying for his country.

It's very easy for war films to take sides or fall into a romanticization of the subject. All Quiet on the Western Front manages to avoid those clichès and brings together what is probably the best anti-war film ever made. Beautifully shot, with a haunting soundtrack and superb performances that glue together a message so powerful and more relevant than ever.

"Honor? My son was killed in the war. He doesn't feel any honor."
