Das Boot

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.
