Die Blechtrommel / The Tin Drum (1979) 2 x DVD9 Criterion Collection 2013 (Director’s cut)
on January 23rd, 2016 at 14:38
His name is Oskar Matzerath and he wills himself to stop growing at the age of three as a reaction to the lunacy and duplicity of the adult world as he experiences it in Danzig in the run-up to WW II and the war years. After carefully staging a fall down a flight of basement steps to account for his growth stoppage, he bangs out his anger on a series of tin drums bought from a Jewish toyshop proprietor.
Oskar grows mentally but remains permanently trapped in the body of a 3-year-old. He spends much of his time pounding on his drum and perfecting a scream that is capable of shattering glass. As World War II approaches and Germany goes through some major social changes, Oscar finds himself increasingly pressured to take sides.
