Additional Information
In the midst of World War II, a German U-boat crew is sent out to patrol the Atlantic and fire at Allied ships bringing supplies to England. The submarine also carries a press correspondent, there to report from the front lines of nautical warfare. Meanwhile, the crew's captain (Jurgen Prochnow û IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS, BEVERLY HILLS COP II) is becoming disillusioned with the Nazi regime and with war in general. What starts out as a routine mission is soon livened up beyond the crew's expectations when their boat's surprise attack on a convoy is thwarted by a fast-moving destroyer. Battered by depth charges, the crew must pull together to survive the attacks of their unseen enemy.<BR>Widely considered to be director Wolfgang Petersen's best film and one of the finest German films ever made, DAS BOOT is stunningly realistic in its portrayal of the cramped conditions aboard a German submarine. Based on a novel by Lothar G. Buchheim, it is a striking example of an intelligent antiwar film clothed in the guise of a military thriller.

    U Boot fan

    Brilliant film anyway but the directors cut just put the shine on the film. Although we are all used to the history of the u boat conflict this film adds the human element to the war. From personal knowledge it is also a fact that as the war went on conscription became the norm....... It must have been "hellish"

  • Vertually live on board a Nazis submarine.

    I'm hooked on Das Boot because of the series shown by SkyUK. This is a good watch but I'm incredibly biased as I'm such a fan of viewing Das Boot TV series. The Film or TV series.I have watched the TV series over&over I've almost virtually lived aboard a submarine.The Film is more documentary than the TV series so one can't compare.Personally I like drama but I'm not being disrespectful to the Film Directors Cut of Das Boot.

  • You get what you pay for...

    The 'narrative' in 'Das Boot' is really secondary to the intense claustrophobia of the setting. This may not be a prticularly enticing recommendation but may be likened to the 'symphonic' amosphere created by say, Tarkovski's movies or even maybe to the anti-narratives of Peter Greenaway's extravagances, though again, the gritty-sweaty confines of Das Boot could hardly make a starker contrast. I suspect that anyone ordering this TV series is unlikely to be unfamiliar with its grim verité atmosphere.

  • Brilliant film

    This was recommended on Twitter in response to the question "what is the best subtitled film you've ever seen?" Many of the replies included this German film about WW2. It probably has been one of the best WW2 we've ever seen.
