and then nothing turned itself inside-out.

German film set in East Berlin in 1984, where a man listens in on the lives of a writer & his girlfriend and becomes immersed in their lives. This film was excellent. It really sheds light on the type of authoritarianism that East Berlin was under the governance of at the time. I sort of believe that movies based on true stories always seem to have the same cinematic elements, the look & feel so to speak. Though the stories are drastically different, I couldn't help but think of Polanski's The Pianist. Anyways, great movie.
