The epic drama is angry and tender and horrifying and touching, all of it conveyed by [Abel Gance's] powerful and delicate imagery and sophisticated techniques.
Our jingoistic era might do well to revisit Gance's compassionate visions.
Fertile to a fault.
It may not be subtle, or realistic filmmaking, but as far as visual poetry goes, it's extraordinary.
Technically innovative anti-war World War I melodrama.
For people who like older movies that today serve as excellent period pieces.....at the time of the piece....and carry a cogent storyline and the appearance of characters that would later become stock characters in film and tv. Pop up some popcorn, pour a beverage and this movie will serve it justice
