speaking of bridges, my personal favorite is Die Brucke or 'The Bridge' - 1959 directed by Bernhard Wicki. It's pretty devastating but great. I saw it once 10 years ago but I think about it a lot.

I mean I'm not usually in favour of rewriting old stuff (cf. the recent roald dahl controversy) but maybe it's not always bad...
