Similarly, Evans explores the use of the conventions of melodrama to create an ‘authenticity of affect [which] provokes an emotional response from its audience, by foregrounding the way in which the GDR systematically sought to break those individuals it deemed a menace’ (2010: 173).…”

“…Oprócz skoncentrowanych na nim, w kontekście całości kinematografii niemieckiej, opracowań zbiorowych 12 , w których oceniano go między innymi jako "zimnowojenny film szpiegowski" 13 , analizowano również jego scenariusz 14 , muzykę 15 , autentyczność przedstawienia życia codziennego w NRD 16 , względnie formę prezentacji pamięci o wschodnioniemieckiej policji politycznej 17 .
