#41 - Paths of Glory (1957. Stanley Kubrick)

If not the greatest anti-war film ever, could this be at least the most cynical and at the same time heartbreaking indictment of the war politic? Of course, talking about the scenes that affected be would be spoiler city, so I guess no mention of that. Though I've always liked Kubrick, I never disagreed with complaints that his films are mechanical or lacking emotion until I saw Paths of Glory. It's so awful and so timely too.

new #100: All Quiet on the Western Front (what a coincidence!)
