About
You can stream The Tin Drum (1979) on Max with a subscription.
In 1924, Oskar Matzerath is born in the Free City of Danzig. At age three, he falls down a flight of stairs and stops growing. In 1939, World War II breaks out.
Can a child’s refusal to grow physically act as a protest against a world spiraling into madness? This surreal fable uses a boy's piercing, glass-shattering scream to puncture the absurdity of Nazi-era rising tensions.
