All Quiet on the Western Front - 6-Disc Ultimate Edition (5 BD/1 DVD) Capelight

[FantasticMrFox]

Capelight Pictures announced a 6-Disc Ultimate Edition for "All Quiet on the Western Front" (German title: Im Westen Nichts Neues) with a release-date of November 4.

Limited and numbered to 2500 with a certificate, the Boxset houses two 3-Disc Mediabooks, with 46 pages Booklet each, and a reproduction of lobby cards.



The movie has a very special (sad) release history in Germany, since the Nazis and Hitler opposed the film. During and after the premier Goebbels and brownshirts disrupted the viewings with stink bombs, sneezing powder and mice. It escalated till movie goers was attacked, and the film was outlawed on December 1930. It was released again in a heavily cut version, than banned again, and all this resulted in multiple cuts and dubbs for the movie in Germany.

Capelight worked hard and collected all these cuts and German dubs. For the first time, this edition contains all four (German) dubs of the film (from 1930, 1952, 1984 and 2005) and also for the first time the eight-minute longer version on Blu-ray and DVD with the (German) dubs from 1984 and 2005 as well as the WDR sound version from 1995. The Blu-ray also contains the censored versions from 1930 and 1952, the international standard version, the silent film version and the original ZDF version of the Volkstrauertag broadcast from 1984.
