On land they dreamed of being heroes. Beneath the sea they pray to be survivors.

A German submarine hunts allied ships during the Second World War, but it soon becomes the hunted. The crew tries to survive below the surface, while stretching both the boat and themselves to their limits.

Keith Phipps · The A.V. Club 100.00/100.00

At once a devastating condemnation of war and an exciting action film...The additional running time only adds to Petersen's masterfully bleak, claustrophobic atmosphere. Das Boot is by no means a pleasant experience, but it's an intelligent and emotionally gripping one that you won't forget. [Director's Cut]

絵楓 3.00/5.00

贯彻专业主义的维修段落好看,最后的变调有意思(即便早有预料,回应历史),真正悖逆类型,戏谑而有力的讽刺。整体仍然依靠类型段落的堆砌,每个段落的语气非常直白且衔接生硬(想想“唯美”的海景,想想声音:镜头一切向想要寄信回家的船员时立马出现煽情配乐;船舱里过大的滴答声)。视角仍然显得太开阔,需要更加“限制”,尤其不喜欢从船外呈现潜艇全景的不可能视点,影像组织时对过程工整的复现必定是抽离的(比如舰长喊“上浮”/“下潜”后立马给一个船浮出/沉入海面的全景;比如给一个深水炸弹爆炸的全景立马切向船内开始摇晃),这与室内调度意图达到的沉浸体验式似乎有所矛盾。#德国电影大师展

Desson Thomson · Washington Post 100.00/100.00

You emerge from this experience rather like a returning U-boat crewman -- drained, blinking in the light, but oddly triumphant. [Director's cut]
