The Tin Drum (1979). In 1924, Oskar Matzerath is born in the Free City of Danzig. At age three, he falls down a flight of stairs and stops growing. In 1939, World War II breaks out.
I’m still not entirely sure how I feel about this movie, but it’s one that I’ve thought about a lot in the few days since I watched it, so that alone says a lot. It’s certainly interesting, and it really leans into its surrealism in a way that feels refreshingly bold. It’s wild to think it was nominated for an Oscar, because I can’t see the Academy responding to something like this today. 7/10.
