If you’re already experiencing The Last of Us withdrawals after the finale, let Screambox fill the post-apocalyptic void in your life with The Island.
Known internationally as Sløborn, the series combines elements of disaster thriller, coming-of-age drama, dystopian sci-fi, and survival horror. The German-Danish co-production was created by filmmaker Christian Alvart, who directed the genre films Pandorum, Case 39, and Antibodies before creating Netflix’s Dogs of Berlin.
It’s never been easy to be a teenager, but it’s particularly difficult for Gen Z, who are doomed to reckon with fears of the future — or lack thereof. As 15-year-old Evelin Kern (Emily Kusche) puts it in The Island‘s opening voice over, “Ever since I can remember, the world has been ending. Species extinction, deforestation, economic crises, environmental pollution, terrorism, and climate change. Happy days. Somewhere there is always the next crisis, the next war, and mankind has...

“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.

Netflix has dropped the "All Quiet on the Western Front" trailer — and it serves as a reminder that not all epic war films are made equally.
In this dad movie genre to conquer all dad movie genres, some manage to find meaning and poignancy amid all the senseless destruction -- recent movies like Christopher Nolan's "Dunkirk" or Sam Mendes' "1917" immediately come to mind, with the latter in particular feeling so refreshing for being about preventing a large-scale battle as opposed to reveling in one. Others, however, can't help but get caught up in the spectacle and glory of it all, lionizing historical figures who aren't all that worthy of it in the first place or sending mixed messages about whether the horrific killing of thousands ought to be celebrated or mourned.
In that light, perhaps it makes sense to go back to one of the original touchstones of...

"My mother didn't want me to go to war. I wanted to show them I could do it." Netflix has debuted another main official trailer for All Quiet on the Western Front, a brand new German adaptation of the classic book about the atrocities of World War I. The film already opened in theaters in Germany and in the US a few weeks ago - and will be streaming on Netflix soon. A young German soldier's terrifying experiences and distress on the western front during World War I. He heads off with excitement and enthusiasm, only to be sent straight into hell.

The book was famously originally adapted for the big screen in 1930 by director Lewis Milestone, and again by the UK in 1979 with director Delbert Mann.

“All Quiet on the Western Front” is one of those foundational texts that transcends clichés, because it invented them. Erich Maria Remarque’s 1928 novel and Lewis Milestone’s Oscar-winning 1930 film are cornerstones of the “war is hell” subgenre — which, in a post-”Apocalypse Now,” post-”Saving Private Ryan” era, has become more ubiquitous than the jingoistic war epics it was designed to counter.
There might be some fresh insight to be gained from a new adaptation of “All Quiet,” despite the ripple effects of its influence: War, sadly, has not ended because of films about how awful it is. And its futility and absurdity remain constant, even as its face evolves with the times. Sadly, Edward Berger’s doesn’t add much to the canon except for some starkly beautiful imagery.

Lewis Milestone’s 1930 classic All Quiet on the Western Front was based on the 1928 novel by Erich Maria Remarque and became the first adaptation of a book to win the Oscar for Best Picture, as well as the first Best Picture Oscar winner to also take Best Director. It has hardly been touched by filmmakers since then save for a TV movie remake by director Delbert Mann in 1979 that starred Richard Thomas. Now that has changed, and in a significant way, as the book has finally been taken on by Germany with director Edward Berger’s adaptation that finally shows us the perspective from the German side. It has already been selected as the German entry for the 95th Oscars’ International Feature Film race, and just had its world premiere Monday at the Toronto Film Festival.

The teaser trailer for Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front opens with the declaration this story is “neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure for those who stand face to face with it.” Those words are lifted directly from Erich Maria Remarque’s classic novel and appear to signify how faithful this 2022 film adaptation will be to the source material.
That passage in Remarque’s novel continues: “It will try simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped its shells, were destroyed by the war.”
Adapted by Edward Berger, Lesley Paterson, and Ian Stokell, and directed by Berger, All Quiet on the Western Front will have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival followed by an exclusive run at New York’s Paris Theater on October 7th. A limited...
