What I really want to say is…

Lives of Others

May 6, 2009 · 5 Comments

We’ve been watching foreign films lately.  One of my favorites so far has been Lives of Others, or Das Leben der Anderen.

A secret agent for East Berlin spies on a playwright.  This “by-the-book” spy starts to find himself interested in his subjects for reasons other than his assignment.

It’s a slow movie, but it’s elegantly slow.  Watching the main character transform through the movie was beautiful, and made me wish that other movies had characters that were as dynamic.

Have you seen it?  If so, what did you think?
