Netflix, German made, up for several oscars.
Think its the third film of the book, and probably the worse.
The good bits, it portrays the sheer horror & slaughter of WW1 graphically*, Cinematography is very good, acting good, and fulfils the futility of war theme of the book.
But, severely disjoined jumping all over the place location and time wise with little linkage, no real introduction to the characters - all very annoying. And it takes little from the book other than theme.
*overdone tho, some people take an unfeasibly long time to die.
Worth a watch? if nothing else available I guess so
