I don’t think I did 10 times, but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy sure offered something new every time I watched it.
God that movie was subtle.
Looks good! On my list. You ever watched Das Leben der Anderen?
I have not and I think that is called “The Lives of Others” in the states.
Is it similar to Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy?
They are both terrific movies bit quite different I'd say. TTSS is much more about the intrigue/double-crossing/spy stuff, whereas The Lives of Others is more of a character study.
As an aside, the BBC series of TTSS with Alec Guiness is still the best and any fan of the movie/book who hasn't seen it should remedy that ASAP.
I'm not sure as I haven't watched TTSS yet. It's on my list now but sounds like it is in the same ballpark.
The Lives of Others indeed, it's a movie about divided Germany with a dark atmosphere, which does deserve multiple viewings. Great stuff.
Nice I will check it out.
