Netflix’s “All Quiet on the Western Front” made noise at Sunday’s British Academy Film Awards, leading all movies with seven wins, including for best film.
Edward Berger won best director for the anti-war epic, which tied a BAFTA record with 14 nominations. The German-language movie also won best film not in the English language, best adapted screenplay, best original score, best sound and best cinematography.
Adapted from a 1929 novel by Erich Maria Remarque, the World War I-set “All Quiet on the Western Front” won best film over the multiverse adventure “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the musical biopic “Elvis,” the dark comedy “The Banshees of Inisherin” and the psychological drama “Tár.”
Each of those films is nominated for best picture at next month’s Academy Awards.
