The Tin Drum charts the rise of Nazism, as seen through the diabolically knowing eyes of a child, the young David Bennent as Oskar. In choosing to remain a child, Oskar locates the politics of brutality in adult behavior, in the doomed setting of pre–World War II Danzig, where he experiences his mother’s simultaneous marriage to a German and love affair with a Pole as a kind of occupation. Volker Schlöndorff’s adaptation of Günter Grass’s acclaimed novel is an unforgettable fantasia of surreal imagery, striking eroticism, and unflinching satire. We present the restored Director’s Cut version.
