It’s been anything but quiet on the awards front for Netflix’s “All Quiet on the Western Front.” After lurking under the radar for much of this season, the German World War I epic directed by Edward Berger took this year’s Academy Award nominations by storm, racking up an impressive total of nine, including Best Picture, and becoming just the 14th film not in the English language to be shortlisted for the top honor. If it walks away with the Best Picture prize on March 12, it will follow in the footsteps of “Parasite” (2019) as just the second non-English language film to pull off this feat.

“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.

Germany’s Burhan Qurbani wins best director prize for We Are Strong. We Are Young.
Gábor Reisz’s slacker comedy For Some Inexplicable Reason won the Grand Prix winner at the 6th edition of the Voices festival for young European cinema in the Russian provincial town of Vologda on Sunday evening (July 5).
Reisz’s debut had its world premiere in the East of the West competition at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival last year and is handled internationally by Alpha Violet.
The award was the film’s ninth trophy after prizes at festivals in Turin and Sofia, among others.
Speaking to ScreenDaily in Vologda, Reisz said that his film’s lead actor - fellow directing student Áron Ferenczik - had been overhelmed by the attention given to him for his acting turn as the slacker Áron, but is now preparing to direct a TV movie.

[Editor's note: I've asked our team of world film correspondents to dish out their top 5 films of the year from their respective countries. Here's Thomas Taborsky's take on the Best of Germany in 2010.] An entire year's worth of production, however the piece of German cinema that left the biggest mark on 2010 was, strictly speaking, a TV mini series: In Face of the Crime, a ten-part epic about the Russian mob in Berlin, was at the center of attention, and director Dominik Graf received praise wherever he went. Word was of a reinvention - one German cinema is in need of, considering these twelve months were mostly about known topics, known ways of dealing with them and known players - even if the best continued to perform strongly, which also holds true with thesps like Sibel Kekilli (in the country's Academy Award contender When We Leave) and Moritz Bleibtreu (as Joseph Goebbels in Jew Suss: Rise and Fall). But now, let's talk about this year's mixed bag of standout movies: #5. Wallace Line Franz Müller makes the most of the constellation of two single parents falling in love,...

There was a catch to this week's decision of the German Federal Film Board to approve more funds to more screenwrights than usual: In average, most of them walk away with less money. No maximum subsidies (30,000, in exceptional cases 50,000) were given out to the 16 approved projects (out of 60). Instead, all screenplays were affirmed for support payments of either 18,000 or just over 14,500 Euros. Four treatments received 7,000 each. Of course, that group included some better-known names, such as Fatih Akin, director of Head-On and The Edge of Heaven, who has teamed up with journalist Hans Hielscher to write a script called Kämpfernatur (Born Fighter), a story based in the world of professional boxing. We also have Aliza Olmert, visual artist and wife of former Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert, who is trying to get her autobiographical novel A Slice of Sea on the big screen with the help of Brit writer/director Gareth Jones.
