Paths of Glory - The Masters of Cinema Series4K Ultra HDGenre: DramaLabel: EurekaDescription: A shattering masterpiece by one of the medium's greatest artists Stanley Kubrick's Paths of Glory announced the definitive arrival of a towering figure in cinema. On the French front lines of World War I after giving the order for an impossible and disastrous mission to capture a nearby stronghold the upper ranks move to save face by having three randomly selected soldiers held and tried for cowardice under pain of death. Their leader Colonel Dax (in a powerhouse performance by Kirk Douglas) a former lawyer in civilian life handles their defence against overwhelming odds. A stylistically astonishing emotionally overwhelming anti-war drama Paths of Glory is one of the screen's most brilliant condemnations of the power structures guiding warfare.
