In the French front lines of World War I, after giving the order for an impossible and disastrous mission to capture a nearby stronghold, the upper ranks move to save face by having three randomly selected soldiers held and tried for cowardice under pain of death. Their leader, Colonel Dax (in a powerhouse performance by Kirk Douglas ) a former lawyer in civilian life, handles their defence against overwhelming odds. A stylistically astonishing, emotionally overwhelming anti-war drama, Paths of Glory is one of the screen's most brilliant condemnations of the power structures guiding warfare. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present a new Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK. SPECIAL FEATURES REVIEWS ''Arguably the best film about the first world war ★★★★★'' - Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian ''A masterpiece! It is both a terrifying, grim look at battle and a tense courtroom thriller'' - Chicago Tribune ''Kubrick's relentlessly probing camera offers constant evidence of a film-maker at the height of his powers.'' - Radio Times ''A reminder both of [Kubrick's] extraordinary formal virtuosity and his powers as a satirist.'' - The Independent ''Paths of Glory deservedly launched Kubrick to the highest level of prestige.'' - Time Out Film Guide ''A highly accurate depiction of trench warfare and sometimes misguided working of the military mind'' - Sir Winston Churchill Review: wonderful film about class conflict and abuse of power - Unarguably one of the finest anti-war diatribes ever to hit the screens. Yet, more than 50 years have passed after its making, it is still powerful and immortal film in its own league. Stanley Kubrick, even at the age of 28, showed that he would be the master of visual creation and ingenious camerawork. Apart from story, what I specially liked here is the trenches which are dark, foreboding and dreadfully real. Also, long close-ups, reverse tracking shots through the trences and lateral shots during attack scenes are absolutely brilliant, courtroom sequences harrowingly poignant. On first viewing "Paths of Glory" appears to be a corrosive anti-war movie about the brutal portrayal of military injustice; but it is far more complicated, delivering some universal social messages. In its very depths, the film is about strong class conflict, indomitability of human spirit, hypocrisy, and how the privilege class cares only about themselves and how their use of power could be so much corrupting. While enjoying the safety and luxury of their chateaux far off enemy lines and sipping their expensive wines, self-righteous as well as Machiavellian generals see no harm in sending their exhausted and underequipped albeit "expendable" soldiers in a suicide mission of taking an impregnable German position where nothing but death is awaiting. Yes, obey your master. Otherwise you'll taste the icy bullets of the firing squad. Yuck... Thankfully, Kirk Douglas' angry and mighty performance as Colonel Dax, who valiantly defends three French soldiers (who picked arbitrarily and charged unjustly with cowardice because they refused to run to imminent death) perfectly confronts this contradiction. This is one of his finest performances combining his aura of intellectuality and physicality with strong moral idealism. Last world: Despite having a pretty simple framework and short running time (~89 minutes), its powerful story, great performances, impeccable cinematography and Kubrick's deft directorial touch make "Paths of Glory" an universal and topical film even 50 years after its making.

I will give a brief review of the film, and say this film is one of the most audacious early films of any filmmaker’s career. Stanley Kubrick took us to World War 1 in France and took us through the trenches of war and demonstrated hypocrisies of the high ranking commanding officers who sentence three men to death for supposed cowardice in the face of the enemy during a battle against Germany to claim ownership of their anthill that was proving impossible to achieve because of enemy fire. This film was so impactful that it wasn’t released in France until 1975 due to its attack on the French authorities. And it was banned in Switzerland and Spain until the 70’s as well. But this film couldn’t be more authentic in presentation, brutal, and Kirk Douglas’ acting just wonderful. The ending is the most poignant scene of Kubrick’s filmography next to Bryan’s death in Barry Lyndon. If you haven’t seen it, you definitely should! As a Stanley Kubrick fan, it is a no-brainer to have this in your collection. Now onto the transfer. I have yet to see the supplements on here, but usually Masters of Cinema nail it, and it is often a lot of material you could find on any Criterion edition of a film or brand new material altogether. Either way, they aim to add a sufficient amount of special features. The film transfer itself is stunning. Black and white often translates very well to 4K due to the depth of colour that can be applied to the blacks and whites, and the deeper contrast. Kubrick, with his masterful photographic techniques, lit the interiors with cavernous lighting, and many scenes on the battlefront were shot at night, and the battle for anthill shot in deep sunlight. Every scene feels brimming with life, using sound effects of explosions that feel more real than ever, and the grittiness of war being presented with the explosions that are completely grey across the screen as you watch the troops go across the field. The scenes in the court chamber just look absolutely stunning with picturesque figures of soldiers standing tall, and every accused soldier (Private Ferrol, Private Paris, and Private Arnaud) who get called up to the stand with their face perfectly contrasting against the background of commander generals passing judgement in full view. The shots have the right amount of light and dark for every moment, and the 4K transfer looks so pristine. You would be hard pressed to find a better looking version of Paths on Glory on the market, and it restores a little bit of my faith in the future of physical releases. Maybe one day Criterion will release the much anticipated Lolita, Barry Lyndon or Eyes Wide Shut 4K releases? Then the full collection of major Stanley Kubrick films in 4K will be complete. ## Frequently Bought Together - Paths of Glory (Blu-ray) (1957) (Masters of Cinema) [UK Import] - The Killing (4KUHD) [4K UHD] - Killer's Kiss --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48441120-paths-of-glory-masters-of-cinema-blu-ray](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/48441120-paths-of-glory-masters-of-cinema-blu-ray) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
