On Disc:
• Commentary from writer/director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck that answers a lot of the political, socio-economic, and historical questions I had after first watching the film. Speaking impeccable English, Donnersmarck succinctly explains a semester\'s worth of information over the course of the track. He also provides a wealth of behind-the-scene details, on-set anecdotes, and additional production information. This is an immensely informative track, and a must-listen for fans of the film.
• \"Interview with the Director\" (30 minutes) is more of the same. Donnersmarck focuses more on pre-production info here than he does in the commentary, but I couldn\'t shake the feeling that I had heard it all before.
• A 20 minute featurette titled \"The Making of The Lives of Others\" once again features Donnersmarck, but also includes a series of interviews with the film\'s cast and crew.
• \"Deleted Scenes\" (9 minutes) that round out the subtleties of the characters involved (especially Wiesler). The scenes are great to watch and add even more depth to the characters.
• Trailers \'Perfect Stranger,\' \'Premonition,\' \'Reign Over Me,\' and \'Black Book.\'
