2007-German-Suspense
In movies involving Forgin Cinema its difficult to relate to the culture, time period, and or characters, exept if the movie simple and general. In most forgini films we are forced to watch some sensless background/explination or even a slight history lesson to get us upto date.
This film however cuts the 'fat' and has you in a voigeristic sense, get involved in the characters from a distance.
Synopsis:
Set in the backdrop of East Germany 1980s, is a government orginization that specializes on interigation and setting wire taps on possible conspirators of the socialistic government.
When a successful playwright and his actress companion become subjects of the Stasi's secret surveillance program, their friends, family and even those doing the watching find their lives changed too.
All-in-All:
To say this film blew me away is downright an understatement. I feel a bit dead inside in almost forcing myself into watching this film at first thinking, "why did i want this again?" mentality.
The first few min. of the film sets the pace and doesnt let go. A must see film for those who seek something different.
Riko's Rating: A+
