A grown man is reduced to tears after 50 hours of relentless
questioning by the East German secret police, the Stasi, as he finally
breaks down and reveals the identity of his accomplice.

This is one of the opening scenes of The Life Of The Others, a new
film that shows the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) in a much
grimmer light than the comedies about the communist East that filled
cinemas in recent years.

The film tells the story of a plot by the Stasi to discredit a
playwright, ending in both the death of his lover and the end of his
career.

Film critics and political commentators in Germany see the film as
evidence that nostalgia for the communist era is finally being
replaced by a more realistic view.

"The best film about the GDR since reunification," said the weekly Die
Zeit, "a cinematic novel which provides depressing insights into the
workings of the dictatorship".
