Review of Das Boot (1981) by Irvin C — 25 Dec 2011
This is one of those films which I never seem to get around seeing due to the length (almost 3.5 hours). As it turns out, it's a remarkable piece of filmmaking, The film is epic in its scope but also very often claustrophobic.
The intense action scenes is even made more intense by the fact that a lot of the men are allowed to become characters and we get to know them. The cinematography and film editing here are both wondrous.
A bit overhyped sure but still a very solid, highly recommended film despite the length.
