The Tin Drum (Die Blechtromme)
“The Tin Drum” (Die Blechtrommel), directed by Volker Schlöndorff, follows the life of Oskar Matzerath, a boy who decides to stop growing at the age of three as a form of protest against the adult world and its absurdities. Set against the backdrop of World War II in Danzig, Oskar’s story is a surreal exploration of history, identity, and the power of individual resistance.
