MARY RIEPMA ROSS MEDIA ARTS CENTER
The Lives Of Others, Commune Show at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents The Lives Of Others and Commune. Commune will show through March 22, while the Oscar-winning (for best foreign-language film) The Lives Of Others will play through March 29.
At once a political thriller and human drama, The Lives Of Others begins in East Berlin in 1984, five years before Glasnost and the fall of the Berlin Wall and ultimately takes us to 1991, in what is now the reunited Germany. The Lives Of Others traces the gradual disillusionment of Captain Gerd Wiesler (Ulrich Muhe, best known for his lead roles in Michael Haneke's Funny Games and as Dr. Mengele in Costa-Gavras' Amen), a highly skilled officer who works for the Stasi, East Germany's all-powerful secret police. His mission is to spy on a celebrated writer and actress couple, Georg Dreyman (Sebastian Koch) and Christa-Maria Sieland (Martina Gedeck).
During the radical fervor of the early 1970s, utopian communities dotted the American landscape. They aimed to reshape the world with "free love" and common property, and they excited controversy and fear amongs local residents across the country. Though the idea of communes is now often relegated to a naive past, Berman discovers a successful and lasting, if controversial, legacy at the influential Black Bear Ranch in Siskiyou County, California. With archival footage from the early days, and the present-day views of Black Bear members and their offspring, Commune is a revealing look at how our most basic choices about family, work, and the nature of our relationships send powerful and lasting shock waves through the fabric of society.
