After giving up trying to watch Dr. No in dubbed German and I decided to watch the only DVD that I have here with me in Berlin. Aptly enough, The Lives of Others is set in Prenzlauer Berg in 1984 when the GDR's Stasi were at their most active. I won't say any more about the film as I don't want to give anything away. What I will say though is that I think it's probably the best film I've seen this year!
