OSCAR WINNER: BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM 2007 BAFTA WINNER: FILM NOT IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE 2008 In the early 1980s, the successful dramatist Georg Dreyman and his longtime companion Christa-Maria Sieland, a popular actress, are big intellectual stars in the socialist state, although they secretly don't always think loyal to the party line. One day, the Minister of Culture becomes interested in Christa, so the secret service agent Wiesler is instructed to observe and sound out the couple, but their life fascinates him more and more... The eye-catching and bold poster conveys the surveillance theme whilst pushing the human element to the story.
