Like the Hollywood pictures that would follow, Wolfgang Petersen’s “Das Boot” revealed the director's gift for intensely physical filmmaking — a talent that feels increasingly rare in an ever more CG-reliant, streaming-focused Hollywood.
The ocean was in many ways his natural habitat, as borne out by “Poseidon,” his proficient 2006 remake of “The Poseidon Adventure,” and especiallythe 1981 submarine-set nail biter that earned six Academy Award nominations, including a directing nomination for Petersen, who died Friday at age 81.
A tour de force of clammy, claustrophobic tension, “Das Boot” became a career-making smash for a director with only one prior theatrical feature, the German drama “One or the Other of Us” , under his belt.
