What he said.
Here's what my husband wrote to a friend about our newest favorite movie, which you should go see.
Lives of Others is well worth your time. It's a beautiful film about the power of art and love to re-humanize those whose culture has lost much of what makes it human. Thus, in many ways, its about the goodness of being and creation. I also saw an interview on Charlie Rose with the writer/director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (sp?). He's young (about 35?) and heavily influenced by his literary background. Consequently, the film has an artful coherence that makes it a good film to talk about with others.
