Review by Library Journal Review

Best known stateside for his Hollywood silent pics starring Louise Brooks (Diary of a Lost Girl; Pandora's Box), Austrian director G.W. Pabst made a big noise in Europe in the sound era with this complementary pair of talkies. Westfront depicts World War I horrors from the German viewpoint in a realistic style similar to All Quiet on the Western Front but with fewer of that classic's sentimental flourishes. Comradeship among workers overcomes postwar grievances as German miners aid their trapped French counterparts in Kameradschaft. Superb restoration has rescued both films. © Copyright 2018.
