"The Lives of Others" and Arizona - Part A

First things first:

If you have not seen the 2006 critically acclaimed German film Das Leben der Anderen (The Lives of Others), stop what you are doing right now. Gallop, don't trot or canter, to your nearest video store or download service and get that movie. (It will be in German with English subtitles.) Watch it tonight or at your first opportunity to immerse yourself into a subtle yet riveting multisensory sojourn into essential humanity. If possible watch it with good friends or a loved one, because you will want to talk about it after viewing.


In any event, whether you've seen the film or not, I'll be back soon with the rest of this post.

Enjoy the show.
