A man who has devoted his life to ferreting out "dangerous" characters is thrown into a quandary when he investigates a man who poses no threat in this drama, the first feature from German filmmaker Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. It's 1984, and Capt. Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Mühe) is an agent of the Stasi, the East German Secret Police. Weisler carefully and dispassionately investigates people who might be deemed some sort of threat to the state. Shortly after Weisler's former classmate, Lt. Col. Grubitz (Ulrich Tukur), invites him to a theatrical piece by celebrated East German playwright Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch), Minister Bruno Hempf (Thomas Thieme) informs Weisler that he suspects Dreyman of political dissidence, and wonders if this renowned patriot is all that he seems to be. As it turns out, Hempf has something of an ulterior motive for trying to pin something on Dreyman: a deep-seated infatuation with Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck), Dreyman's girlfriend. Nevertheless, Grubitz, who is anxious to further his career, appoints Weisler to spy on the gentleman with his help. Weisler plants listening devices in Dreyman's apartment and begins shadowing the writer. As Weisler monitors Dreyman's daily life, however (from a secret surveillance station in the gentleman's attic), he discovers the writer is one of the few East Germans who genuinely believes in his leaders. This changes over time, however, as Dreyman discovers that Christa-Maria is being blackmailed into a sexual relationship with Hempf, and one of Dreyman's friends, stage director Albert Jerska (Volkmar Kleinert), is driven to suicide after himself being blackballed by the government. Dreyman's loyalty thus shifts away from the East German government, and he anonymously posts an anti-establishment piece in a major newspaper which rouses the fury of government officials. Meanwhile, Weisler becomes deeply emotionally drawn into the lives of Dreyman and Sieland, and becomes something of an anti-establishment figure himself, embracing freedom of thought and expression. A major box-office success in Germany, Das Leben der Anderen (aka The Lives of Others) received its North American premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For The Lives of Others
New Review For Movie The Lives of Others
The Lives of Others is a powerful but quiet film, constructed of hidden thoughts and secret desires.Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's film is a melodrama in a minor key, quietly affecting, quietly chilling, quietly quiet. It captures the drab architecture of totalitarianism, the soul-dead buildings of a soul-dead state.
Roger Moore-Orlando Sentinel
Its suspense builds on the fragile and nuanced business of emotional rebirth.
Amy Biancolli-Houston Chronicle
A political thriller that's consistently as inventive as it is creepy.
Tom Long-Detroit News
Few would deny that The Lives of Others is true to its self, and in its depiction of human nature -- and human spirit.
Terry Lawson-Detroit Free Press
Poised between Kafka and Tom Cruise, The Lives of Others is the sort of movie that constantly engages you. You never know what's going to happen next, and it's all done with a precision and intelligence that's rare in movies these days.
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie-Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The scope is especially impressive given that the movie is about a society obsessively focused on the tiniest of details.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
Activism proves tough on people who've thrived at their political patrons' blessings, and one character cruelly chooses a path of least resistance when the chips are down. A cataclysmic conclusion depicts political clamps on expression and emotion.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
If the filmmaker commits a crime, it's in pushing the [Stasi] character's rehabilitation slightly too far--about as much as the weight of a teardrop.
Rob Nelson-City Pages, Minneapolis/St. Paul
A truly unforgettable movie.
Geoff Berkshire-Metromix.com
Although Henckel von Donnersmarck has a number of genuinely good ideas ... the film is marred by redundancy, indecision and clumsiness.
Robert Davis-Paste Magazine
Not since Francis Ford Coppola's masterful The Conversation has there been a thriller quite like this.
Brandon Fibbs-BrandonFibbs.com
The best foreign language film of the year is also one of the year's best overall.
Robert Roten-Laramie Movie Scope
A multi-layered and surprisingly touching dramatic thriller.
Eric D. Snider-EricDSnider.com
... The Lives of Others illustrates, with only a dash of sentimentality, the truth that integrity leads to vulnerability and sacrifice.
Jeffrey Overstreet-Looking Closer
The Lives Of Others' obedient, obsessed spy in an exceedingly odd sense may have much more of a handle on the lives of others than, say, the filmmaker, who himself was around six years old at that time period of the former GDR.
Prairie Miller-WBAI Web Radio
The Lives of Others aims to flatter its audience - a quality typical for a film whose emotional posturing is only skin deep.
Rob Humanick-Projection Booth
Actually one of the most optimistic stories I've watched in a long while.
Jeffrey Chen-Window to the Movies
A beautifully mounted movie that's difficult to shake.
Christopher Smith-Bangor Daily News (Maine)
a mesmerizing, heartbreaking thriller
James Sanford-Kalamazoo Gazette
How surprising that a new German film would teach Americans about human faith at a time when acclaimed movies like Borat lack faith.
Armond White-New York Press
a finely nuanced screenplay into whose naturalistic dialogue an intricate array of suggestive symbols and recurring motifs are subtly folded.
Anton Bitel-Eye for Film
Una notable mirada a la vida bajo un régimen opresivo, en este caso la RDA de 1984. Sorprendente debut del director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, con excelente elenco y calidad narrativa.
Enrique Buchichio-Uruguay Total
Von Donnersmarck moves certain sequences too slowly, but matches his tightest suspense with human intrigue.
Mark Palermo-Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)
You know within minutes of watching The Lives of Others ... that you are in confident, authoritative hands.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
