Das Boot (1981)

RIP to Wolfgang Petersen, a truly gifted filmmaker who was adept at transporting audiences (myself included) into extraordinary circumstances on-screen through relatable characters.  He directed some of the most creative and engaging genre films of the '80's and '90's including Das Boot, The Neverending Story, In the Line of Fire, Enemy Mine, The Perfect Storm, and Outbreak.  His was a singular talent and he will be missed....Forty-one years ago, director Wolfgang Peterson (The Perfect Storm, Troy) took the world by storm as this large-scale German production became both a box office hit and recipient of several Oscar nominations.  We dive into life on the submarine with a crew of 42 trying to survive under increasingly tense (and cramped) circumstances as they traverse through the Mediterranean to try to get home.  Jurgen Prochnow stars as the ship’s captain.Host: Geoff Gershon Producer: Marlene Gershonhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/Send us Fan MailSupport the showhttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
