I can't stop thinking about the film we saw last night.

It was very, very, good. The best film I've seen in ages, I think.

It's set in East Germany, in 1984, and it's the story of the Stasi's constant monitoring of a writer and an actress, and of what happens when the captain who's eavesdropping on every aspect of their lives starts to lose his detachment.

Very powerful, very moving.

You and I are living parallel movie lives. That movie is netflixing its way to me as I type.

My bad. A Life Less Ordinary is on it's way to me. But I *did* just recently put The Lives of Others in my "saved" list on Netflix :)
