One of the greatest war
movies ever made, the Das Boot director's cut is a grim, unrelenting look at war from the inside of
a submarine. The claustrophobia is palpable. This is the director's cut of the film which runs
substantially longer and presents a fuller picture of the world aboard this boat.
This first DVD special edition from Columbia-Tristar includes the
director's audio commentary and a brief making of promotional short. It is another example of the
wonderful DVD transfers from this studio.

All the difficult lighting is handled with
tightly constructed grain as well as a brilliant palette of subtle shades. The very sharp DVD
exposes every bead of sweat and every facial pore gasping for air.
