Review

Written and directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, the international arthouse hit The Lives of Others (2006) takes place in 1984 East Germany, where, as its opening line spells out, "glasnost is nowhere in sight." There's also no dirt in sight when it comes to playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch)—so much so that the secret police, led by Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe), relentlessly try to pin him with some kind of crime against the state. Bavarian beauties Martina Gedeck and Gabi Fleming spice up the oppressive, gray surroundings with their various pink parts, turning The Lives of Others into a lively exercise for your bratwurst indeed.
