I will argue that Paths of Glory exemplifies a formalist use of the cinema’s frame in its realistic depiction of a World War I court marshaling of three French Soldiers sentenced to death for cowardice. Dudley Andrew discusses the differences between the formalist view of screen as frame and the realist view of screen as window within film theory and I will use his arguments to better understand how Paths of Glory can at once accept realist theory and formalist theory through its conscious exploitation
