It seems almost criminal that we haven't reviewed a German film yet, but that changes today! Das Leben der Anderen or The Lives of Others is a small-budget historical drama film from 2006 that made huge waves with its international release and the awards it received the world over. Together, Boris and Sam discuss if the film is worth all the hype, and examine their individual relationships with the film and the history it takes so much care to depict authentically. From a pocket summary of the history of East Germany to countless mentions of Tatort, the hosting duo will use their patented process to inject both humour and research into a spirited discussion about a truly landmark example of modern German cinema. Don't forget to share and get involved on social media - unlike the Stasi we promise we won't do anything shady with your contributions!
