Usually I stay away from foreign subtitled films BUT in this case this film released in 2006 and running 137 minutes,caught my attention.Because it is in German and might be considered as somewhat boring,I took 1 star off.However it is a important film if you have a interest of what life was like in a surveillance state,even if you were loyal to it.It plays like a play rather than a movie as it slowly unveils how people were watched and sometimes in error before both Germanys re-unified in 1989.Its hard to explain except that you are watching lives unfold like a reality show only this was how it was back then and not filmed for entertainment value,rather for its informational historic value.If you have a interest in life behind the wall,see it,if you want a good time,don't. Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary is below.
In the early 1980s, Georg Dreyman (a successful dramatist) and his longtime companion Christa-Maria Sieland (a popular actress), were huge intellectual stars in (former) East Germany, although they secretly don't always toe the party line. One day, the Minister of Culture becomes interested in Christa, so the secret service agent Wiesler is instructed to observe and sound out the couple, but their life fascinates him more and more.
