Lives of others

(Leben der Anderen, Das)

The film is set a few years and just up to the fall of the Berlin wall on the east side. It follows a writer and a agent of the secret police and how the life of this free thinking person influences the life of someone who has been put in place to stop this. It has some real dark undertones especially when it comes to the secret police and the awesome power they had just to make people disappear for some small thing or view. This is a wonderful film with a very gripping story, there are many many for filing moments and many moments which will get you raped up in the story. For me the film started off good and just got better and better, may be why it won the best foreign film Oscar. It was a very strong cast and a wonderful story which keeps you in your seat and a numb free bum.

Imdb this film
