A French army officer defends his troops, accused of cowardice, for refusing a suicide mission attack on enemy lines. Made in the 1950s, Paths of Glory went on to become one of the greatest anti-militarist films in the history of cinema. Kubrick’s daring staging of trench warfare and Kirk Douglas’s powerful performance are inextricably linked to its success. However, due to certain French political contexts, it was not released in France until 1975.
