Dir: Florian H. von Donnersmarck, 2007, Germany (9*) Best Foreign Film (AA, BAA)
One of only five films to win both the U.S. and British academy award for foreign language film.
This terrific German film on domestic espionage recalls Coppola's The Conversation. It's a tense, superbly filmed study of the state police of East Germany (the Stasi) using electronic surveillance on a popular writer, who may or may not be guilty of publishing subversive material, which is cause for disappearance. Won both the U.S. and British academy award for Best Foreign Language Film, was nominated for Best Picture in Britain.
