“‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ tells a story of a young man who, poisoned by right-wing political nationalist propaganda, goes to war thinking it’s an adventure, and war is anything but an adventure. That is one of the messages of Remarque’s seminal novel and when we started embarking on this… that seemed a relevant message even 100 years after the book was published.”Article content

“Banshees,” about two feuding friends on an island off the coast of Ireland, won outstanding British film, both supporting acting categories for Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan as well as original screenplay. The journalist, whom Russia put on a wanted list in December, said on Friday he had been “banned by British police from attending” the BAFTAs for security reasons.
