All Quiet on the Western Front

The German-language antiwar movie won best film, best director and five other awards at Britain's equivalent of the Academy Awards.

The mistake was edited out of the show’s television broadcast in Britain. The ceremony, hosted by Richard E. “Here, dawn quagmires lit by dots of orange flame and troops mad-eyed with animal fear register both as fine cinema and potent fury,” Leigh said. While accepting the award for best adapted screenplay, he mentioned the movie’s antiwar message and Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

“It’s a moment of celebration in the midst of everything,” Curtis told The Associated Press on the red carpet. He features in “Navalny,” a film about jailed Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny that won the best documentary BAFTA. All the time.” Cate Blanchett won the best actress prize for orchestral drama “Tár.” “All Quiet,” a visceral depiction of life and death in the World War I trenches based on Erich Maria Remarque’s classic novel, won Edward Berger the best director award. Heir to the throne Prince William, who is president of Britain’s film and television academy, was in the audience alongside his wife, Kate. This year there were 11 female directors up for awards across all categories, including documentary and animated films. Helen Mirren paid tribute to William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, who died in September. All at once. Mirren, who portrayed the late monarch onscreen in “The Queen” and onstage in “The Audience,” called Elizabeth “the nation’s leading lady.” “Best what award?” joked McDonagh of the film, which was shot in Ireland with a largely Irish cast and crew. Irish tragicomedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” and rock biopic “Elvis” took four prizes each.

[the country's critics have slated the film](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/27/oscar-all-quiet-on-the-western-front-germany-critics), and one key theme of their damning reviews is that Berger has a severe case of "Oscar-Geilheit" or "lust for an Oscar".

The director didn't even make a legitimate adaptation of the novel, argues Hubert Wetzel [in Süddeutsche Zeitung](https://www.sueddeutsche.de/kultur/im-westen-nichts-neues-netflix-roman-1.5683370). It might be German, but in many respects, it is the most obvious best picture nominee of the lot. There was a time, in the 1990s and 2000s, when everyone knew what an "Oscar movie" was. In other words, they watched the kind of film that used to win best picture on a regular basis. [Top Gun: Maverick](https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20220512-top-gun-maverick-hits-its-target-with-explosive-force) was a commercial and critical smash, so that was always a shoo-in, too. And they watched a film whose scenes of death, destruction and misery resonated with reports from the invasion of Ukraine. As well as funding All Quiet on the Western Front, Netflix has done an exemplary job of promoting it, ensuring that it is hard to log on to the platform without being reminded of its existence. But the new rule has led to more unusual films appearing in the best picture line-up – and more films that aren't in English, too. The film is adapted from a first-person, present-tense account of a German soldier's dehumanising ordeal in the trenches. [The Fabelmans](https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20221118-spielbergs-the-fabelmans-review-an-emotional-crowd-pleaser) is the venerable Steven Spielberg's love letter to cinema, for instance, so that was a dead cert.
