Pretty intense movie. Effing brilliant.
The movie is set in East Berlin in 1984. A Stasi/German secret police investigator/interrorgator is assigned to monitor a popular playwright (whos accused of being a western sympathizer). After installing microphones throughout his apartment, the Stasi agent then monitors the daily happenings. He becomes extremely attached to this playwright and his western-sympathizng girlfriend. Sounds like a blast, no?
But seriously, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen. The acting, the music, the all-around produciton value is HUGE.
I seriously reccomend it to anybody who enjoys an intense drama.
Warning: Subtitled.
