As I lived in Germany for 17 years I had the capability of understanding the movie in its original language, which often increases the level drastically to understand what the film maker is attempting to convey. The movie is great, but disturbing on many levels. It is one of those movies which needs to be seen several times to completely appreciate it.

This movie shared the 1979 Palme d'Or at the Cannes film festival for best film with "Apocalypse Now". It is directed by Volker Schloendorff (one of Germany's top living directors in my opinion) and features the fantastic Mario Adorf in a main role. David Bennent who plays the lead role as "the boy who refuses to grow up" is incredible. This film also won the Oscar in 1980 as best foreign film and the "Golden Bear" (Germany's Oscar) in 1979, in addition to countless other awards worldwide. I would highly recommend this movie.
