Abstract
The Lives of Others can be seen as a classical case of an "exploitation film", both artistically and commercially. While this does not mar its merits as a moving drama about love, guilt, and redemption, it comes at the price of a historical "creativity" of a peculiar kind, informed by unreconstructed masculinity and a proverbial German yearning for reconciliation.
