The Lives of Others

THE LIVES OF OTHERS (2006) - Feb. 28, 2007
A very well made but very slow-paced film about a writer in cold war-era Germany who finds himself under government surveillance by a man who slowly comes to identify with him, and who begins to almost live vicariously through him. The film features some really good direction and cinematography, and a couple of really stellar performances from Sebastian Koch and Ulrich Mühe. It was quite slow, though. ***
