I just wanted to recommend this premier feature of a director I'm sure has an amazing career ahead of him. It's a film about loyalty and betrayal, art and deception, set in the years just before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Contained within the margins of a thriller, it plays out as a character study of people caught in a system designed to squeeze the life and soul out of them. Beautifully-acted, economically-written, it ranks for me in the top four or five movies I've seen these past eight months. And it's been nominated for an Oscar.
