Revisionist war film takes record-breaking seven awards, including best picture and best director, while Irish black comedy The Banshees of Inisherin and Elvis biopic both win four awards
Revisionist German war drama All Quiet on the Western Front has swept the board at the British Academy Film Awards in London, taking a remarkable seven awards, including best picture and best director for Edward Berger.
The Netflix film, an adaptation of Erich Maria Remarque’s 1929 novel about an idealistic German soldier sent to the trenches, scored a record-equalling 14 nominations last month but few anticipated it would capitalise on so many of them.
