A staff/volunteer pick (Keif H. as it blew his mind as a young kid back in the early 80s & still does to this day!) to celebrate the Guild Cinema's 60th year in operations!  (Special thanks to our friends at GUILD TURNS 60!)

Oskar is born in Germany in 1924 with an advanced intellect. Repulsed by the hypocrisy of adults and the irresponsibility of society, he refuses to grow older after his third birthday. While the chaotic world around him careers toward the madness and folly of World War II, Oskar pounds incessantly on his beloved tin drum and perfects his uncannily piercing shrieks. The Tin Drum, which earned the Palme d’Or at Cannes and the Academy Award for best foreign-language film, is Volker Schlöndorff’s visionary adaptation of Nobel laureate Günter Grass’s acclaimed novel, characterized by surreal imagery, arresting eroticism, and clear-eyed satire.

"Is, in fact, almost everything anybody could ask a film to be. It is strikingly original and continuously surprising." - Charles Champlin, Los Angeles Times

"The story it tells is so outsized, bizarre, funny, and eccentric, the movie compels attention." - Vincent Canby, New York Times
