The Lives Of Others
on DVD (2006)
Starring: Ulrich Muhe, Sebastian Koch, Martina Gedeck
Director: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck
Certificate: 
Saw this recently and thought it was worth watching. It is subtitled and set in East Germany before the wall came down, and although that may sound bleak the film does deliver at the end. The general gist concerns the paranoia of the ruling party towards artists and how they bugged their apartments and followed their every move. The film moves at a good pace and you get a sense of how the authjorities operated at the time.
