PATHS OF GLORY (Masters of Cinema) Special Edition 4K Ultra-HD Blu-ray is AVAILABLE NOW from the Eureka Store https://bit.ly/40CK7Uk
A shattering masterpiece by one of the medium’s greatest artists, Stanley Kubrick’s PATHS OF GLORY announced the definitive arrival of a towering figure in cinema.
On 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 Ultra-HD Blu-ray edition for the first time in the UK.
