Flawless

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2020)

This is seriously one of the best movie I've ever watched.
Everything, from the original plot, the screenplay, photography, soundtrack and acting, was perfectly conceived and realized. There was no line which I thought was redundant or avoidable.
From the start of the movie, you are directly immersed into the living conditions of the DDR. The way STASI worked makes you realize that there was no thing such as personal space and freedom of thought.
It is then perfectly depicted what it really means being an artist inside this historical context.
I was not bored for one single second during the whole movie, and after having watched it dubbed in Italian, I also tried to watch it in German. Every character was really well portrayed, and the acting was simply superb.
It saddened me to read that Ulrich Mühe died only one year after the movie was released. His interpretation was outstanding, and the last line he pronounces "Es ist für mich" is so full of power after everything his character goes through.
I highly recommend not to miss this title!
