Berlin, 09 Mar no. It is estimated that the task may require 30 million dollars to complete. Here the key elements that would become elaborated in The Lives of Others, a tale of redemption via a voyeuristic triangle, a spy in an attic room and a tragic couple, found their first positive formulation. It would start between the man and the woman and then make its way into the final scene, where we hear it fully, at the very end, when he opens that book. A palatable melodrama, from the brown, dusty days of the GDR, seasoned with some sex and art, lots of horrible repression, some dead people, still more heartache, a few cold, evil perpetrators, lots and lots of German victims and a Saul who becomes a Paul.
