Set near the end of the conflict, it follows a group of teenage boys in a small town as they contend with everyday matters like school, girls, and parents, before enlisting as soldiers and being forced to defend their home turf in a confused, terrifying battle. This expressively shot, emotionally bruising drama dared to humanize young German soldiers at a historically tender moment, and proved influential for the coming generation of New German Cinema auteurs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left is-sticky-clone-shim\" data-sticky-column-left=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"left is-sticky-active\" data-sticky-column-left=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content\" data-sticky-left-content-end=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__details_contain_a\" data-segment-analtyics-tracking=\"\" data-product-id=\"1112\" data-product-sku=\"\" data-product-name=\"The Bridge\" data-product-image-url=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/criterion-production\/films\/dc0c6d72367b18727c846047f2b39cb6\/JOpfLu2e0pJYqYoJ67UvpPXUgKcIP1_large.jpg\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-features collapse\" data-sticky-left-end=\"\" data-sticky-left-content-end=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collapse-contain\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\" data-feature-title-field=\"\"\u003eBLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features-list\" data-special-features-field=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 2K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with writer Gregor Dorfmeister, on whose autobiographical novel the film is based\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew interview with filmmaker Volker Schlöndorff about the film’s impact on German cinema\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterview from 1989 with director Bernhard Wicki\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcerpt from a 2007 documentary by Elisabeth Wicki-Endriss, Wicki’s widow, featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the shoot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePLUS: An essay by film critic Terrence Rafferty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eNew cover by Michael Boland\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Criterion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45437693886508,"sku":"715515149310","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0359\/2201\/8348\/files\/the-bridge-763-new-blu-ray-715515149310-8277133.jpg?v=1775593388","url":"https:\/\/www.orbitdvd.com\/products\/the-bridge-763","provider":"Orbit DVD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
