All Quiet on the Western Front won the Oscar for Best International Film at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

Previously, the film (aka James Friend) also won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography. Also the Oscar for the best production design (Christian M. Goldbreck, Ernestine Hipper) as well as those for the best music (Volker Bertelmann) the film was able to reap.

Director Berger in an interview

“Nothing New in the West” is the film adaptation of the 1928 war novel of the same name by Romans by Erich Maria Remarques. “The key reason to retell this story was that ‘Im Westen Nothing New’ is a truly German story and book,” director Edward Berger explained in an interview with ROLLING STONE. “Germany has a unique perspective on this issue, having fought two brutal world wars that transformed and shaped the world. With that comes a great responsibility.”
