This is actually the first film I have seen in the theatre since I moved to Hong Kong in November. (Even if you include the two months I spent here over the summer!!) But what a film!
Das Leben der Anderen - The Life of Others, is set in socialist East Germany and follows a member of the Stasi (the secret police of the Communist Regime) and the interplay between the writer and actress he has under surveillance. Some similar themes to Equillibrium, I think - Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck's film swept the awards at the Deutscher Filmpreis, and hopefully it will do the same at The Oscars on Sunday.
