Das Leben der Anderen

The Lives of Others Allemagne 2006 | Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck | vostEN | 137’ | 35mm | Cast : Ulrich Mühe, Sebastian Koch, Martina Gedeck

► Best Foreign Language Film, Oscars 2007

 

In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police, conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives.

 

« It's hard to believe this is von Donnersmarck's first feature. His storytelling gifts have the novelistic richness of a seasoned master. » (Newsweek)

 

« Keine Ostalgie, keine Spreewaldgurken-Folklore, keine Trabi-Witze. Sondern eine Porträt-Galerie der zynischen Machthaber, der Karrieristen und Mitläufer, und die Wandlung Wieslers - das Herzstück des Films. » (Süddeutsche Zeitung)
