The Tin Drum: Having recently read the book, I was curious to see the movie, especially since it was similarly heaped with critical acclaim. I was expecting it to be just as strange as the book, and was certainly not disappointed. However, it ended only about two thirds of the way through the story, and included a large number of scenes and characters without any explanation. In short, had I not read the book I would have been completely and utterly lost. I liked it, but I simply cannot recommend it to anyone else. Save yourself the headache of confusion (and perhaps shock) and skip this one.
