The Lives Of Others (Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, 2006)
Of the many ways of deciding whether to invest time in seeing a movie, you find it usually pays to be wary of the Oscar nominations, especially ones in the patronisingly entitled 'foreign language' section. On this occasion however, if you haven't yet seen this intelligent drama set in East Berlin under the Stasi, make an immediate exception. It's emotionally engaging, unflinching, compassionate, and superbly constructed throughout.

Not caught this yet. It usually pays to be wary of seeing films my mum recommends, but I'll make an exception in this case.
