The Tin Drum: between celluloid and paper

Summary/Abstract: The Tin Drum: between celluloid and paper Adapting literature was always a major issue in film theory. There are stories written as if directly to the screen – and there are those unadaptable ones. Günter Grass’ The Tin Drum lies somewhere in between these two extremes. This essay sums up some of the ways through which Schlöndorff– the director of the movie – succeeds in grabbing the adaptable layers of the novel and thus constructing a valid silver screen-version of one of the most important European novels written after the WWII.
