Wolfgang Peterson"s seminal wartime drama "Das Boot" ("The Boat") follows the crew of infamous German U-boat division: 'The Grey Wolves' as they prowl the deep in search of a target. The strength of Peterson"s opus (originally a six part miniseries) lies in the way its" been re-arranged for film, the mere fact that we have to spend three hours in a submarine is a lot to ask. And since these sailors are deadly serious (as you would be with reduced hull integrity) whilst operating to the highest standards of German efficiency, it"s a pretty dour, humourless experience helmed by Peterson and carried off on screen by the stoic presence of a young Jürgen Prochnow. And by the time we finally come up to surface for some salty sea air, you"ll know you"ve just seen a classic. A great film, lovingly presented in a fine new set by The Reel Collection.
