A well paced, insightful view of life under Erich Honecker`s GDR, and the gripping awakening of human spirit in a Stasi officer. A must see for anyone interested in politics, power, human spirit.
An exceptionally great movie.
I really loved this movie.It was wonderfull.
I`d say it was the best movie of the year. . .but, wait a moment. . .it`s only February! OK, the best movie of the 21st Century? Well, maybe not quite (Pan`s Labyrinth is pretty special). The Lives of Others is deep, engaging. . .beautifully scripted, wonderfully acted, with barely a false note. And the ending`s to die for!
Excellent!
