Das Boot
Powerful tale of submarine warfare following the perilous 1941 voyage of a German U-boat, starring Jurgen Prochnow and Herbert Gronemeyer.
Powerful tale of submarine warfare based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Lothar-Guenther Buchheim, restored to the original director's cut. One of Germany's most expensive films, it follows the perilous voyage of a German U-boat from occupied France to Spain and back in 1941. The fear and claustrophobia involved in life beneath the sea is well recreated, and the sentiment is decidedly anti-Nazi.
