“All Quiet on the Western Front” won a whopping seven awards at the 2023 British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), including Best Film, and many are wondering how they can watch the gritty World War I drama.
Directed by Edward Berger, whom the British Academy named Best Director, the film is an adaptation of the 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque.
A staple of many academic reading lists, the first English language adaptation of Remarque’s novel was made in 1930. The film netted Lewis Milestone his second Best Director Oscar and won Outstanding Production (later renamed Best Picture). A TV film adaptation was released in 1979 and was also lauded, winning the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Made for Television.
Berger’s 2022 version is in German and was released by Netflix. It is up for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best International Film. Here...

When we speak of someone “refusing to be a victim,” it’s usually in praise of their resolve and resilience: It’s a refusal that asserts an identity stronger than the worst adversity you’ve experienced. There’s undeniable power in that, but at what point does defiance twist into denial? This is the fine precipice on which German writer-director Eva Trobisch’s searing debut feature “All Good” balances its frayed-nerve drama — after a self-possessed young woman is raped by a man she hardly knows, and chooses to continue her life without acknowledging that fact. A fascinating flip on themes contentiously raised in Paul Verhoeven’s “Elle,”
Written as a graduation project at the London Film School and a worthy victor in Locarno’s first-feature competition, Trobisch’s finely poised film will likely prompt auspicious comparisons to the early work of Maren Ade as it burns through the festival circuit.

What immense health German cinema has found itself in lately. Since the turn of the decade, audiences of a certain ilk have grown accustomed to seeing names like Ade, Petzold, Grisebach, Schanelec, and Köhler show up on art-house and festival screens. We may soon need to add Eva Trobisch to that list. Yes, if All Good (Alles ist gut)–her snare drum taut and timely feature debut–is anything to go by, the East Berlin-born writer-director should provide that rich vein of deutsche Regisseure will its latest transfusion.
For those not particularly adept with the German language, the phrase Alles ist gut is kind of like saying “s’all good.” You know, that thing one occasionally says when one would rather not face the not-goodness of things. Trobisch’s film stars Aenne Schwartz as Janne, a woman for whom a couple of things are definitely not good, namely the fact...
