Ear, The

Synopsis

A high-ranking Communist official and his wife begin to suspect that their home has been put under surveillance by the Party. Over one night, the growing tension exposes a bitter fault-line in their relationship, feeding an atmosphere of paranoia and dread. A darkly satirical political-noir, the film was banned soon after completion and remained unseen until the fall of Communism twenty years later.
With English subtitles.
