"The Lives of Others" won seven German Film Awards back home, but reacting to the glowing reception here, filmmaker Henckel von Donnersmarck told indieWIRE, "Although people were deeply impacted by the film in Germany, and it did incredibly well, we never got that kind of direct appreciation and love because people were also troubled by the fact that we were telling them a story from their own past which in a way they'd rather not hear."

"The Lives of Others," starring popular German actor , is the story of a seemingly cold, stone-faced Stasi agent who's bugged the apartment of notable couple, a famous actress and her accomplished playwright boyfriend. The setting is GDR Berlin, 1984 and the meek agent, hoping to advance his career, spends hours tracking the couple's every move, but gets more than he bargained for as he becomes better acquainted with the couple while spending endless hours listening in on their lives.

"I think that is the challenge, (to) try and tie as many knots between as many parts of your soul and the film as you can and it will become a better film for it," the filmmaker, told indieWIRE, "I believe in deeply personal films." And the film was even more person for the well-known German actor Ulrich Muhe.

After the Wall came down, Muhe discovered a massive Stasi file indicating that his own wife was an informer who had been spying on him throughout the 1980s. "It takes incredible courage to play [that] character," explained Henckel von Donnersmarck, "I had everything to win, but he had everything to lose."
