Like the communist witch hunts that spooked Americans in the 50s, the Stasi haunts East Germany in the 80s. They are grey men lurking in the shadows, noting every movement of suspected rebels - stopping just short of the bowel-related variety. Ulrich Mühe plays one of these GDR agents, the aptly named Wiesler in Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's big screen debut 'The Lives Of Others'. It offers a rare and fascinating snapshot of life behind The Berlin Wall.

Winner of numerous awards including;

*2007 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year
*2007 Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film
