Dinner and the Lives of Others Movie

This is one of my favorite moves of all time. Part Spy thriller, part romance, part look at how to keep making art in difficult circumstances. Let's see it on the big screen. This is a special show at the Chelsea, so the only day to see it.
If you can't make it, do yourself a favor and rent it.

The movie is at 7:00. The 5:30 time is for those who want to meet at the theater and walk over to Pita Grill for dinner before. Feel free to show up at 6:45 just for the movie.

"At once a political thriller and human drama, THE LIVES OF OTHERS begins in East Berlin in 1984, five years before Glasnost and the fall of the Berlin Wall and ultimately takes us to 1991, in what is now the reunited Germany. THE LIVES OF OTHERS traces the gradual disillusionment of Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Muhe, best known for his lead roles in Michael Haneke's FUNNY GAMES and as Dr. Mengele in Costa-Gavras' AMEN), a highly skilled officer who works for the Stasi, East Germany's all-powerful secret police. His mission is to spy on a celebrated writer and actress couple, Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch) and Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck)."
