Our Kubrick Christmas series marches along with Paths of Glory, the director’s 1957 anti-war drama!

The story follows Colonel Dax, portrayed by Kirk Douglas, a principled French officer who is ordered to lead his men in a suicidal assault on an impregnable German position known as the “Anthill.” When the attack fails, the enraged generals scapegoat three soldiers, putting them on trial for cowardice to cover up their own incompetence. As Dax defends the men in a farcical court-martial, the film exposes the callous indifference of the military hierarchy and the brutal realities of war.

With its stark cinematography, powerful performances, and unflinching critique of authority, Paths of Glory remains a seminal exploration of the futility and tragedy of war.
