Lives of Others, The - dvd

2007 ACADEMY AWARD WINNER - BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s stunning directorial debut The Lives of Others is both an intense human drama and a political thriller, which examines life under the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Set in East Germany in 1984, Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch – Black Book), one of the country’s most popular – and loyal – playwrights comes to be targeted by the Stasi precisely because he has neither said nor written anything suspicious.
