Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Who decorates himself with such a long and stunning name can surely put out good movies! Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. That's the director of the recently honored with an Oscar German production "The Lives of Others". I'm not entirely convinced though of my thesis that the quality of a feature film is in fact influenced by a particularly unctuous name of the Executive Director - but, thunder or not, whether with or without Henckelchen: This film has class. And it pretty much.
scene is the extremely undemocratic "German Democratic Republic" at a time when their doom was sealed and the fall of the Berlin Wall is only a matter of time. "The Lives of Others" takes us to two spectacular and entertaining film hours in a "democracy" full of corruption, repression and surveillance. A writer who only harmless, friendly regime Writes texts, not to lose his position as stage manager at the theater. An actress who can be abused by the Minister to continue to practice their profession. A Stasi man, the monitor will open just those two people's eyes and changes sides. Betrayal, pain, death. And yet another nearly good, so touching end.
But I will not tell everything.
Should I disclose this fact to much of the sweeping action of the film could pass your interest perhaps - and I will have risked under any circumstances! Because I think the film is not recommended. And whether it's the name of the director is or not: The seven German Film Awards and the Oscar for Best Foreign Film "has" The Lives of Others "more than deserved. Terrific actor. Soulful action. The warranty for a fulfilling evening.
