The Blu-ray version was released on 10/23/12.
Variety:
"A creative war art piece that stands out with fresh cinematography and poetic dialogue."
"He artistically captures the eccentric attitudes to death, the gobbling of hungry men. And their bestiality, showing in one scene how destructive desire can be for a poor young soldier."
The New York Times noted that Kubrick and Sackler ( The poet, who co-wrote the screenplay with Kubrick)
offers an exploration of "repressed excitement, a deeply melancholic yet powerfully visually stimulating film."
Co-author of The New Yorker Writes:
"Mr. Kubrick wants to show that he is against war...but talks about his prejudice against death."
Herald Tribune: "Usually they will do what they want to photograph Excited by the boring, non-dramatic imagery and the hyperbole that is hard to grasp in the film's dialogue and action." The
above comments were made in 1953, the year the film was released.
Look at a stinky foot in 1970.
