Bernhard Wicki's astonishing The Bridge was the first major antiwar film to come out of Germany after World War II. 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.
