Tin Drum, The
horizontal line

An off-the-wall, exceedingly quirky, Oscar-winning, 1979 allegorical German film in which a strange, obnoxious, and annoying brat (David Bennett) with a malevolent bent deliberately stunts his growth in an effort to protect himself from the harsh world and the eventual horrors of WWII that envelop him like the skirts of his grandmother (Berta Drews) and uses his piercing, shrill scream that will shatter glass and his compulsive, incessant pounding on a tin drum to control his spineless father (Mario Adorf), his adulterous mother (Angela Winkler) who is having an affair with his smitten uncle (Daniel Olbrychski), and all those who come in contact with him.
