Das Boot: Welterfolg aus der Tiefe
In 1982, "The Boat", a West German war film directed by Wolfgang Petersen, gained worldwide notoriety, even reaching the Oscars, where it was nominated in six categories. Nothing predestined this film to such a triumph. Its biases and the events of the shooting promised it a fate of cursed film. Inspired by a true story - the descent into hell of a German submarine and its crew during the Second World War -, the script was a risky bet from the outset: how would the public react to a claustrophobic closed-door film lasting more than three hours and featuring the wrong side?
