The Interpreter (2005)
Sunday, October 9th, 2005Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.
The Interpreter is, on one hand, a by-the-numbers poltical thriller, raised above the crowd by a first-rate cast, polished and professional execution and, most importantly, its primary filming location. Sydney Pollack’s crew was the first ever allowed to film within the confines of the United Nations complex in New York. The heightened sense of reality gained by this access gives the film an urgency and potency that it would not have achieved if they’d had to fake it.
