Summary

German writer and director Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck, on this edition of Fresh Air. Von Donnersmarck's film The Lives of Others has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It's a spy film set in former East Germany in 1984. It won seven Lola awards in Germany (the equivalent of the Academy Awards) and awards at the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival. Donnersmarck writes that his film is "a human drama about the ability of human beings to do the right thing, no matter how far they have gone down the wrong path". Then, rock critic Ken Tucker reviews the debut album Alright Still by the 21 year-old British singer Lily Allen. [Broadcast Date: February 7, 2007]
