A compelling anti-war film, Paths of Glory shows just how dynamic of a force Stanley Kubrick had become before even reaching his thirtieth birthday. Kirk Douglas delivers a powerful performance as Colonel Dax, who leads his ill-prepared men into battle. Dax’s French troops see their mission against WWI Germany as a sure suicide mission, yet the military brass wants someone to pay for the shame they feel for their failed mission. Dax will not allow his men to be scapegoated and vehemently defends them. This is a war won and lost in the trenches and Kubrick takes us inside the fight with scenes as powerful as any other committed to film.
