Story Of The Unknown Soldier

Story of the Unknown Soldier

This film is made up of sequences from 1928 newsreels, the year of the (now forgotten) Briand-Kellog pact, which condemned war. Histoire du Soldat Inconnu is a radical indictment of the dangerous alliance between money, army, and Church. With this truly modern reshaping of the events of the time, Storck made an antimilitarist pamphlet that is transcended by his poetic verve.
