...manage not to go crazy with all those women after you?! It doesn't distract you from your goals at all? -Florian Wilisch, Paris [laughs] No. I'm fine. I'm always very happy for having people who follow me. It motivates me, and I'm very thankful for it. It suits me well...
...Biggest press room applause so far follows the entry of Lives of Others director Florian Henchel von Donnersmarck. Those German journalists sure are nationalistic!

They called it Ostalgie--Eastalgia--and in 2003 it suffused the hit film Good Bye, Lenin!

His urgent, exceptional first feature, The Lives of Others, is the ideal antidote. It has richly earned its Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film...
