Besides being crazy-in-love with the socialist playwright hero (pictured above) of The Lives of Others (a German film I meant to see ages ago but finally got around to watching this past weekend) and moved by its narrative, I am nuts nuts nuts about the apartment that said playwright shares with his actress lady-love, and below I've embedded a clip of secret operatives bugging it. Of those available on the internets, it's the best for viewing the grand and careless wood-paneled (!!) space. But truly, watch the film. It's lovely, and one gets the full measure of this apartment by viewing the whole. I found myself so enamored of the things on their walls, in and out of focus (and reality). It's sent me into such a crisis about ugliness (and POOR taste) in New York.
