Where to Watch The Tin Drum(1979)

The Tin Drum (1979), directed by Volker Schlöndorff, is a drama film and is available to stream on 4 services in the US. With an IMDb score of 7.4/10 and 84% on Rotten Tomatoes from 532 ratings, it has mixed-to-positive reviews. Released in 1979, the film is a recognisable touchstone of 1970s drama, and remains widely watched decades later.

The film stars Mario Adorf, Angela Winkler, and David Bennent. At 162 minutes, it's a substantial commitment at over two hours. Plan accordingly: this is a movie that rewards a single sitting rather than being broken across multiple sessions.

Prefer not to add another subscription? You can also rent or buy it from Apple iTunes and Fandango At Home. If you're picking what to watch next, it shares a vibe with Awakenings and Picnic at Hanging Rock, both of which are available to stream right now.
