...greater concerns of the human condition. Along with Mühe’s moving display of the breakdown of tradition, “The Lives of Others” offers a number of other talented actors that display some unforgettable moments during the film. Hans–Uwe Bauer, who plays a controversial writer and friend to Dreyman, adds an important element of anger that clashes with Dreyman’s naïvely optimistic attitude. Martina Gedeck, who plays Dreyman’s girlfriend, delivers the most clear external example of the destruction wrought by internal conflict?...
