That is problem with such works, as opposed to more timeless ones.
Call it a classic or whatever you wish, it will join the ranks of works of art perhaps unjustly forgotten. Some great masterpieces, like 12 Chairs... taken out of their historical context become deflated balloons.
The Paths of Glory, on the other hand, will stay with us, because it transcends the particular piece of history, and speaks a much more universal, HUMAN language.
