About this product

Product Information

In East Berlin in 1984, the secret police, known as the Stasi, are gaining more and more control, spying on German citizens, and recruiting thousands of them to spy on each other. Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Muhe) has been ordered to find something on playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch), so he sets up a surveillance room and listens closely as Dreyman, his actress girlfriend, Christa-Marie Sieland (Martina Gedeck), and various suspected radical friends gather in their apartment. But when Wiesler discovers that culture minister Bruno Hempf (Thomas Thieme) cast suspicion on Dreyman only so he can have his way with Sieland, the master interrogator and torture teacher starts taking a long look at just what it all is about. THE LIVES OF OTHERS, co-written and directed by first-timer Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, is a tense, compelling thriller about a critical time in German history. Muhe is mesmerising as the complicated Wiesler, a loyal soldier until he learns too much. The wildly talented Koch is outstanding as Dreyman, a man with a lot to say but desperate to avoid the same fate as his mentor, theatre director Albert Jerska (Volkmar Kleinert). Inspired by actual events and real characters, THE LIVES OF OTHERS was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2007. Interestingly, during and after the filming of the movie, several of the actors (including Muhe) found out that they or their families had been victims of the Stasi--and in one case, the father of an actor (Charly Hubner) was revealed to have been a member of the Stasi himself.

    before you visit Berlin see this DVD

    After three visits to Berlin so many pre Wall exhibits had sadness and no human bearing, this film is a must in understanding a regime that dissappeared not so long ago..... you will pass it on to anyone interested in history and its effect on the human condition inspiring actors truly. Going back to Berlin

  • Subtle, amazing film

    Brilliant look into a very strange time and place, great characters, very human but also historically accurate.

  • The best film I have watched this year!

    Great video set in East Germany in the 1980s-read a book about the same period called Stasiland to hear authentic first hand accounts and watch Deutchland 83 on Channel 4 for a brilliant depiction of the same period. Recent history to some of us older folk but still powerful lessons from history.

  • Fascinating window on recent East German history

    Fascinating window on recent East German history, and Hohenschonhausen can still be visited as a museum to Stasi horrors.
