Really a brilliant early Kubrick this and at 88 mins it shows you don't need a bloated running time to create an unforgettable experience.
They are both excellent films – Paths of Glory is a masterpiece and one of the greatest anti-war films ever made. I've only seen The Double Life of Veronique (shamefully) once but thought it was brilliant when I did and I should really watch it again sometime soon.
