DAS BOOT

(THE BOAT)

Jurgen Prochnow, Hebert Gruenemeyer

Triumph Films; Directed by Wolfgang Petersen

Rated R; 144 minutes; 1982

From Germany comes this masterful adventure epic illustrating the unremitting hardships German U-boat sailors underwent during World War II. DAS BOOT is a potent, universal anti-war statement showing crisp, hopeful and eager youth who turn into grizzled, stooped and old veterans fighting only to survive the horrors of war.
