Stanley Kubricks Paths of Glory (1957), starring Kirk Douglas, is a searing anti-war classic set during World War I. Centered on a French officer defending his men from unjust execution after a failed attack, the film exposes the cruelty of military hierarchy, injustice, and the futility of war. It remains one of cinemas most powerful war dramas and political critiques.

Eureka - Masters of Cinema

A shattering masterpiece by one of the mediums greatest artists, Stanley Kubricks Paths of Glory announced the definitive arrival of a towering figure in cinema.

In the French front lines of World War I, after giving the order for an impossible and disastrous mission to capture a nearby stronghold, the upper ranks move to save face by having three randomly selected soldiers held and tried for cowardice under pain of death. Their leader, Colonel Dax (in a powerhouse performance by Kirk Douglas), a former lawyer in civilian life, handles their defence against overwhelming odds.

A stylistically astonishing, emotionally overwhelming anti-war drama, Paths of Glory  is one of the screens most brilliant condemnations of the power structures guiding warfare. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present a new Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK.
