Over the last couple of nights Mary, Graham and I watched "The Lives of Others," a 2006 film about the East German Stasi. Though it had an espionage element to it and some suspense, which is how we got to it, it was definitely a serious, Euro-art kind of film. It went in a direction I wouldn't have expected.
Graham dug it, which has me thinking of other, serious kinda Euro movies we might put in front of him. It is good for a college student to expand his cinematic horizons, particularly when it involves the slowing down of narratives and the changing of expectations around them.
In general, I heartily endorse this film. Three thumbs up!
