本片改编自德国作家雷马克的同名小说，围绕一名在一战中的普通德国士兵保罗·鲍曼（理查德·托马斯 Richard Thomas饰），作为整个西线残酷战争中的小小缩影。战争的残酷性和毁灭性使他的英雄主义彻底破灭。保罗从迷恋战争到目睹战争后的心灰意冷，他才意识到战争的恐怖及其对人性的摧残。尾声，死一般沉寂的前线出现了鸟鸣，保罗循声而找。突然一句战地报告打破了这短暂的宁静与和谐，影片在“西部前线一切平静”中结束。 本部由美国导演德尔伯特·曼于1979年翻拍的电视版本《西线无战事》，在当年电视艾美奖上获得多项提名，并荣获金球奖最佳电视电影。1930年拍摄的版本已成为反战题材的经典之作，本作虽在艺术创新性上不如旧作，但导演仍以沉重的笔触和纯熟的手法，道尽战争的荒谬无情。
Didier Konings’ simmering mediaeval horror Witte Wieven explores the confluence of religion and patriarchy in an excessively puritanical Dutch village. Blamed by her community for being childless, Frieda immerses herself in prayer and ritual. When she returns unscathed from the forbidden forest surrounding the village, having evaded a lecherous butcher, she is condemned as an agent of the devil. Frieda, however, finds new faith in the dark powers that inhabit the woods.
Shot in a reduced colour palette at the edge of visibility, Konings’ gripping film constructs a convincing pre-modern society whose practices it elucidates with patience and attention. Although set in the Middle Ages, Witte Wieven displays an unmistakably contemporary spirit, crafting a feminist parable about women discovering new ways of understanding their lives and the world.
The film is inspired by the true-to-life story of the discovery of the long-lost “Opus 28” manuscript from Norwegian composer Johan Halvorsen, originally performed in 1909 by Canadian violinist Kathleen Parlow, to whom the piece was dedicated.
Campbell portrays a student who seeks to complete her thesis on Parlow by organizing a public performance of “Opus 28” from Toronto to Oslo. The cast includes Dueñas, Melanie Scheiner, Eve Duranceau, Maxim Gaudette, Rosa-Johan Uddoh, and Eileen Davies.
Debt-ridden pacifist Richard Fyre is propositioned to return to his abandoned mercenary ways by flamboyant zealot, Priest, to eliminate his international competition in exchange for a clean slate.
