Quickie: Watch it even if you don’t usually watch foreign films.
Yada Yada:
Before the fall of the Berlin Wall citizens in East Germany were strictly monitored by the Stasi- secret police. Very few people are above this kind of interference in the private lives and playwright Georg Dreyman is one of them. But when a corrupt politician falls for Georg’s actress girlfriend he is put under surveillance too. His house is bugged. An upright and stringent Captain of the Stasi is in charge of the operation. As the captain eavesdrops on Georg and Christa he becomes increasingly involved in their lives and begins to question his own leading to life altering events for all three of them.
I love the way the 3 characters have been formed. Each one of them makes a marked transition in the duration of the film. Their decisions may not surprise or shock but you feel each one.
Okay... I’m itching to say things that’ll be spoilers. Just watch for a compact drama.
Length: about 2 hrs 20 mins
