The Lives of Others


The Lives of Others: Simply put…..Brilliant. This is the film that beat out Pan’s Labyrinth for the Best Foreign Film Oscar last year. Set in Berlin before the wall came down, the story centers on East Germany’s secret police as they listen in on people they suspect could rise up against the system. The plot is intriguing throughout, but what puts this movie into “4-star territory” is the emotion the feature brings to the table. I love where the script went, examining the power of art and the passion behind an artist. This is a film you will want to talk about after seeing it!
