Title: How gorgeous is this story??
Review: When I first started watching this movie, I thought I was in for a polemic rave about the Communist regime in East Germany....which it is to an extent. But it is so much more.A man employed by the Stazi police in EGermany sets up a listening post near the apartment of a left wing playwrite and his lover. He "spies"on them by listening in through the multiple microphones implanted in the apartment.Along the way, he somehow gets involved in their lives and starts trying to influence or manipulate the outcome of the story. I don't want to spoil the ending, so I won't say more about it, except to say it is both tragic and beautiful.I was extremely moved by this movie. It bears watching again in order to savour each scene.
