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"

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.

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.

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.
