Featured review
I guess everyone is busy watching super heroes.
I quite like movies about East Germany before the fall, giving us a peep into a country run on coercion and corruption, the freedom of the individual disregarded.
Franz and Luise have no desire to get caught up in the world of espionage, but they are given no choice, and no way out.
It's a very well made film with some great performances and you get fully drawn in to the story.
The only problem really is IMDB's current policy of requiring reviews of at least 600 characters, which is well more than I need to tell you what you need to know about this. Just watch it, you don't need to know more. I realise it's to stop people leaving "it's rubbish" and "it's great" type reviews, but really, 600?
