The Tin Drum - The Criterion Collection

£13.99

Released: 18th January 2021. Oskar is born in Germany in 1924 with an advanced intellect. Repulsed by the hypocrisy of adults and the irresponsibility of society, he refuses to grow older after his third birthday.

The Tin Drum, which earned the Palme d'Or at Cannes and the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, is a visionary adaptation from VOLKER SCHLONDORFF (Young Torless) of Nobel laureate Gunter Grass's acclaimed novel, characterized by surreal imagery, br/arresting eroticism, and clear-eyed satire.
