The Lives Of Others

This film wasn't on my local cinema during its release, but I managed to catch it on a "Wednesday Special" and I am glad I did.

Set in East Germany, The Lives Of Others follows a Party agent who is assigned to monitor a playright. What follows is European cinema at its finest.

I don't want to say much more about the plot - this is a film that haunted me for days afterwards.

Brilliant. 9.5/10
