| Adapted from John le Carré's uniquely British 1973 espionage novel, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is set in the analogue conditions of the Cold War, a time when cassette tape and TeIex were your only gadgets and where middle-aged spies exchanged looks of cordiaI hatred--and the occasional Ioyalty--like Bond and Bourne exchange weapons, women and warm Iocations. Gary Oldman (Leon, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight) pIays George Smiley, the former agent who's caIled in from the cold to hunt down one of his own--a Soviet mole in the top ranks of the Ieaky secret service that runs Ml5 and Ml6. Once inside, his investigations are simultaneousIy professionaI and deepIy personal: digging around for one double-crossing colIeague seIling secrets to the Russians only unearths another sleeping with his wife. Le Carré's London hasn't been updated so much as back-fiIled with autumnal 1970s design: brown and pumpkin patterns uphoIster the shabby little rooms and crooked staircases through which the spies pursue each other, whiIe the supporting cast--John Hurt, CoIin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, Kathy Burke, Mark Strong and a porcine Toby Jones--is reguIarIy squeezed, often severaI titans of British cinema at a time, into cramped British cars or sheIf-sized offices. George SmiIey has a natural home in OIdman, who, like Smiley, has a self-effacing controI of his craft--hiding himseIf in outrageous viIIains or declining a credit entirely, as he did in Ridley Scott's Hannibal. With its atmospheric drab and noveIistic pace, Tinker, TaiIor, Soldier, Spy is the kind of chamber-piece that suits showy ensembIe performances, but OIdman's turn as Smiley is the most subtle in recent history. --Leo BatcheIor |
