The director of the BAFTA nominated film All Quiet on the Western Front, Edward Berger, has described the movie as a ‘funnel’ for all the ‘shame and guilt’ that Germans feel towards the First World War.

, Berger discussed his approach to making the film, for which he also co-wrote the screenplay, saying that it came ‘from inside’ of him.

Berger commented: ‘We obviously didn’t make our movie as a comment on current wars, we made it because it’s part of – especially Germany’s – history. Berger insisted he does not like being a ‘messenger’ with his movies but wanted to ‘share the responsibility’ he feels Germany has towards history ‘But to answer the question, it’s not a comment. I find it very hard to be a messenger in essence. We’re filmmakers and that’s what we’re trying to be good at, and sharing a story that comes from inside of us,’ he continued.
