Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Sunday 5th February 2012, 7pm
2011, British, 127mins, Cert 15
Dir: Tomas Alfredson Cast: Colin Firth, John Hurt, Gary Oldman
“A brilliant new adaptation of John le Carré's cold war novel, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy featuring a top-notch cast - Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, John Hurt and especially Gary Oldman, who does the almost unthinkable by creating an interpretation of George Smiley to stand alongside Alec Guinness's, the 1970s period design and the ingenious way the expansive story is condensed into 2 hours, make this one of the best British films of the year.
There is a mole in MI6. When British agent Ricki Tarr discovers, courtesy of an affair, that there may be a Russian agent operating at a high level in MI6, it is clear that an investigation into the issue will be a delicate matter. Enter the retired spymaster George Smiley and his associate Peter Gulliam. The pair are assigned the task of tracking down the agent, but must do so under the radar of the MI6 leadership, for the very reason that they are all under suspicion.
For those who don't know the story already, this is a fine introduction. If you are familiar with the 1979 BBC mini-series however, the pleasure is doubled, as comparison with the earlier version's characterisations gives an added layer of pleasure.”
