| Set in 1980s East Berlin, director Florian Henckle von Donnersmark's debut feature (which earned an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film) provides an exquisitely nuanced portrait of life under the watchful eye of the state police as a high profile couple is bugged. When a successful playwright and his actress companion becomes subjects of the Stasi's secret surveillance program, their friends, family and even those doing the watching find their lives changed, too.

This is a wonderful movie. Read the Netflix member reviews — they are the most laudatory you will likely find for any movie.
