Das Boot (film)

Das Boot is a West-German war film from 1981, directed by Wolfgang Petersen. The screenplay is based on the novel Das Boot from 1973 of the German author Lothar-Günther Buchheim.

The camera work is by Jost Vacano, which almost all scenes turned with a small Arriflexcamera, with gyroscopes for stability. As a result, it was possible scenes fully reconstructed in the Interior of the submarine to film without using dolly tracks.

In West Germany was a six-part mini-TV series released, and a 145-minute film. The film was released in 1982 the United States . In 1997 came a more than 200-minutedirectors cut version. There is also an uncut version of nearly 300 minutes.

By the film adaptation was the novel throughout Western Germany known. This is also due to the high-quality cast, which reads like a who's who of modern German film history. Captain Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock is played by Jürgen Prochnow, war correspondent Lieutenant Werner by Herbert Grönemeyer, Chief Engineer Fritz Grade by Klaus Wennemann, and the second lieutenant by Martin Semmelrogge, to just name a few.
