A couple of weeks ago I went to a preview screening of Conclave, the papal thriller that's out in cinemas now, and enjoyed it a whole lot. It left me interested in what the director, Edward Berger, had made before, which pretty much instantly had me slapped in the face by the fact that I hadn't yet seen All Quiet on the Western Front on Netflix.
This large-scale war movie, based on a truly iconic novel and taking a gritty look at the experience of young soldiers on the front lines of the First World War, is absolutely astounding, as a raft of Oscar wins showed. I can't believe I only just watched it, and really think you should make sure you've done the same.
