The Tin Drum

May 8 at 7pm

At Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive

Downtown Berkeley, Berkeley

"Has lost neither its ability to shock and disturb nor its biting, absurdist sense of humor." (New York Magazine)
163 minutes, Director's Cut
Based on Günter Grass's novel

A child refuses to grow up and watches the rise of Nazism through surreal, erotic, and unflinching eyes. Volker Schlöndorff's 1979 fantasia still cuts deep with its strange beauty and political bite.

They recommend it:
