All Quiet on the Western Front has won Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards.

It was up against Argentina, 1985 (Argentina), Close (Belgium), EO (Poland), and The Quiet Girl (Ireland).

Directed by Edward Berger, it follows Paul, a young German soldier, whose euphoria over fighting in World War I soon turns to fear when he and his comrades are sent into the trenches.

Based on the 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque, it takes inspiration from real-life events and figures and stars Felix Kammerer (as Paul), Albrecht Schuch (as Stanislaus 'Kat' Katczinsky), Moritz Klaus (as Frantz Müller) and Marvel's Daniel Brühl (as Matthias Erzberger).

"Thank you, especially to Felix Kammerer," Berger said in his acceptance speech. "This was your first movie and you carried us on your shoulders as if it was nothing. Without you, none of us would be here."

Berger's All Quiet on the Western Front earned 9 Academy Awards, including Best Picture and winning for Cinematography. Netflix subscribers can stream All Quiet on the Western Front now.
