Thread Name: BS: What's the recent movie about the Stasi?
Subject: BS: What's the recent movie about the Stasi?
I remember a lot of media buzz several months ago about a film set in East Germany, concerning a secret-police agent spying on a couple in their apartment. One or both of the couple were, I believe, performing artists of some kind, and there's some kind of ironic plot twist as the spy gets increasingly involved in his subjects' lives.
Like most independent and/or foreign "art films," this movie never had a theatrical showing in my area. I believe it's available on DVD now, and I'd like to rent it and see it, but I can't remember the title and I've been unable to search it out on the internet by such "keyowrds" as East Germeny, secret police, Stasi, etc. I don't remember any names of actors or the director, either, which would certrainly make a search much easier...
It may have been a 2006 release (in the States, at least), or perhaps early 2007.
