Robinson Film Center is screening of “The Lives of Others” on Thursday night at 7 pm, says Chris Jay. “The Lives of Others” won the 2006 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Picture.


It is a political thriller set in East Berlin against the backdrop of a network of spies and informers. This one night-only screening will be the film’s only Shreveport-Bossier City area theatrical exhibition. The film is Rated R, and will be presented in German with English subtitles.


- Thurs, May 24, 7 pm at the Louisiana Boardwalk Regal Cinemas
- Tickets: $7.50 and may be purchased in advance by calling (318) 424-9090 or purchased in front of the theater immediately prior to the event.
- All who purchase their tickets in advance will be entered to win $50 worth of free rentals courtesy of Hollywood Video.


"I personally find the film highly reminiscent of Francis Ford Coppola’s espionage thriller, “The Conversation.” It’s especially relevant in today’s society, as it raises a lot of complex moral questions about when it is okay for a state to violate the privacy of its citizens. I loved it," says Jay.
