It has been suggested (rather sarcastically) that I resemble the protagonist. No such romantic episodes have ensued as with this character, however!

An understated yet absorbing affair, this is set in East Germany in 1980. Having applied for an exit visa to the West, a Berlin doctor is punished with "exile" to a small country town. While she plans her escape, the local doctor does everything he can to please her. But is his attention kindness, love or surveillance? Petzold's muse Nina Hoss is as brilliant as ever, making aloofness sexy and enigmatic; around her, the director builds tension out of the most mundane things as a bicycle ride and a canteen lunch.</p> <p>"</p> <p>Film review by Demetrios Matheou in Sunday Herald. </p> <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7184/6781995262_00d3e296bd.jpg"> </p>
