Netflix’s German-language anti-war epic creeped into Oscar contention to land nine nominations, including best picture and international feature — and producer Malte Grunert hopes its success will change viewers’ perspectives on the horrors of combat.
No one has been more surprised by the film’s global success than producer Malte Grunert. Grunert has some Oscar experience but never expected that the first German adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s classic anti-war novel, about the trials of an ordinary soldier in the trenches of World War I, would have such resonance with a global audience.All Quiet on the Western FrontThe reaction and the resonance to the film, at this scale, did surprise me, yes.
The reason we felt the film was relevant to make now was it is the story of five boys who fall prey to nationalistic propaganda and lies and enter a war thinking it’ll be an adventure. It’s a rhetoric and a tone that has entered the political discourse again, this sort of right-wing propaganda. The film isn’t just a reminder of the real horrors of war; [it] can also, like with Remarque’s novel, remind us what happens if we give in to this propaganda and don’t, as a society, resist it.
