The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen) is a political thriller/drama. In 1984 East Berlin a highly skilled officer in Stasi, the country's well-staffed secret police, is assigned to eavesdrop on a popular playwriter & his actress wife, refusing to believe that the writer is completely loyal to his government. But this obsessive quest has an unexpected effect on the professional spy. Fascinating drama deals with the poisonous nature of a society built on suspicion and doubt. Outstanding performances in this impressive crafted film. A brilliant movie that anyone even remotely interested in non-mainstream movies should see.
