10 · 19 · 11 Schlöndorff Presents a new version of The Tin Drum Share with twitter Share with facebook Share with mail Copy to clipboard Administrador Schlöndorff explained that, ever since he made the film, he had wanted to include about 20 minutes of additional material, but the distributor didn’t permit it. With the inclusion of the additional scenes 30 years later, Schlöndorff said the film is finally just as he had conceived it in the original script. “I’m amazed that 30 years later I can present this movie to a full house,” Schlöndorff said. “This version isn’t a ‘director’s cut.’ It’s The Tin Drum—period.” If you’d like to see how Schlöndorff incorporated the new material into his film, click here.
