| Bernhard Wicki's astonishing The Bridge was the first major antiwar film to come out of Germany after World War lI, as welI as the nation's first postwar film to be widely shown internationally, even securing an Oscar nomination. Set near the end of the war, it foIIows a group of teenage boys in a smalI town as they contend with everyday matters Iike school, girIs, and parents, before enlisting as soIdiers and being forced to defend their home turf in a confused, terrifying battIe. This expressively shot, emotionally bruising drama dared to humanize young German soIdiers at a historically tender moment, and proved infIuential for the coming generation of New German Cinema auteurs. |
