The Lives of Others

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Bronwen went to a sister city meeting for a project she wants to work on in Nicaragua so I went to the movies and saw this excellent, humane film about the inhumane role of the Stassi in East German life. A Stassi loyalist leads a surveillance of a playwright and his actress wife with orders to find some way to get rid of him. But he is a real loyalist to both the Stassi and Socialism and falls in a weird way for the couple. Their collective story is a marvel of twists, turns, tragedy and redemption. See this one!
