The movie is about policing the cultural scene in East Berlin[GDR] and cutting down the creative liberty of playwrights. Do watch it.

This movie actually deserved more than a “watch it” recommendation. Unarguably, it’s one of those that you can’t possibly NOT think of, days after.
Nonetheless, nice recommendation :-)
Awesome movie. Totally agree with idle-labour with what he/she’s written.
@crazyrals: you been recommending good movies. Most of them foreign though. Are you supposed to recommend only foreign films or it’s just by choice?
@sonofabeech: its just by chance, that’s all. most of the hindi/bolly stuff already seems covered through various PFC post. before making a recco i do a search on pfc, if its there i dont put a recco as people can read about it. so, i recco movies that not many may have heard of.
.
by the way, i shall put on recco some indian movies as well. thanks for the feedback
@idle-labour: yes, i agree that the movie deserves a complete post…at least more than a recco.
i did not have enough time/words to write about it. its quite harrowing and disturbing, no wonder it won so many awards. so, i thought that the least i can do is recco. maybe u should submit a post on the movie through prokekt_iView…
