I lose all film cred because I don't like this film (gasp! I kind of enjoyed the remake, though that could be because U2 helps out the soundtrack). Even knowing the German doesn't make it less tedious for me (or maybe it was watching it in one too many college courses). I prefer my German films to be a little crazier and occasionally violent-while-slow, like Aguirre: der Zorn Gottes/Aguirre, the Wrath of God. Heh.
