speaking of Oscars

Finally got around to the winner of last year's Best Foreign Film Oscar, The Lives of Others.

Just amazing. Highly recommended to all viewers.
It manages the neat trick of delivering profound emotional truths without making you want to slit your wrists, and has one of the best, truest and most satisfying endings I've seen in years.

The wife developed a mad crush on the main guy, who somehow conveyed a bottomless humanity and developing empathy without changing expression once.

Check it out, you won't be sorry.
