With a subtle script, a superb cast and sensitive direction by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck (a remarkable debut), The Lives of Others is a political thriller that covers the same ground as those incomprehensible Cold War spy novels by John Le Carré in which secret intelligence officers roamed freely, surrounded by checkpoints and barriers and villains galore, and got away with everything.
