The Lives of Others

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.

AroView: A compelling dramatisation of the political tensions between artists and authorities in 80’s East Germany, this widely celebrated arthouse hit won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film. A remarkably assured debut feature for its writer-director, this astute examination of compromise and corruption under communism evokes authentic period atmosphere and has performances to match.

“Starts out dark and challenging then comes to a startlingly satisfying and warmly human conclusion that lingers long after the curtain has come down.” ~The Hollywood Reporter
