Synopsis:
This
critically-acclaimed, Oscar-winning film (Best Foreign Language
Film, 2006) is the erotic, emotionally charged experience Lisa
Schwarzbaum (Entertainment Weekly) calls "a nail-biter of
a thriller!"
Before the collapse of the Berlin Wall, East Germany's population
was closely monitored by the State Secret Police or Stasi. Only
a few citizens above suspicion, like renowned pro-Socialist playwright
Georg Dreyman, were permitted to lead private lives. But when
a corrupt government official falls for Georg's stunning actress-girlfriend,
Christa, an ambitious Stasi policeman is ordered to bug the writer's
apartment to gain incriminating evidence against the rival. Now,
what the officer discovers is about to dramatically change their
lives - as well as his - in this seductive political thriller
Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) proclaims is "the best kind
of movie: one you can't get out of your head." |
