The late Ulrich Mühe stars as a strictly loyal Stasi agent, assigned to watch over a celebrated playwright and his actress girlfriend, who learns more than he bargained for. This Oscar-winning drama is strikingly authentic in its meticulous visual recreation of mid-80s East Berlin and in its subtle, unsensational depiction of the atmosphere of fear and corruption that poisoned personal relationships.
