This German film about the Stasi (state security) in the latter days of the division of Germany is a devastatingly good film.
Showing the unrelenting mundanity of life for both watched and watcher, shot in dull colours and devoid of anything remotely glamourous, except the human spirit, it left me feeling emotionally wrecked.
Simply put, this is a film you have to see.
If you don't you will miss something special.
No spoilers. No plot give aways.
Just see it.
