“A chronicle of courage and sacrifice” (A.O. Scott, New York Times), this war epic tells the story of a band of soldiers who heroically fight their way across Europe during World War II, while battling discrimination within their own ranks. Critically acclaimed for its “eloquent performances and potent action sequences” (Jan Stuart, Newsday), Days of Glory was nominated for the 2007 Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film. Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times calls it “a kind of North African ‘Saving Private Ryan’, a taut, involving film that delivers all the things we look for in war movies and does so with intelligence and integrity.” (Publisher)
