The Oscar winning film starring Martina Gedeck, Ulrich Muhe, and Sebastian Koch.
In 1984 East Berlin, an agent of the secret police, conducting surveillance on a writer and his lover, finds himself becoming increasingly absorbed by their lives. Georg Dreyman (a successful dramatist) and his longtime companion Christa-Maria Sieland (a popular actress), are huge intellectual stars in East Germany, although they secretly don't always toe the party line. One day, the Minister of Culture becomes interested in Christa, so secret service agent Wiesler is instructed to observe and sound out the couple, but their life fascinates him more and more. Winner of the 2007 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405094/
