NOTES |
A great
allegorical novel by Germany's leading writer made |
|
into a less
than great film. Difficult subject matter and |
|
perspective
but still interesting. Oskar from whose viewpoint |
|
the events
from the 1920s through the war are seen refuses |
|
to grow
after his third birthday. He meets a performing dwarf |
|
and later a
troop of performing dwarfs one of whom he falls in |
|
Full of
bizarre images. Oscar is played by 12 year old |
|
From the
novel by Gunter Grass which is definitely worth |
|
