by

There’s nothing like a good film to end the weekend, and the BBC has added a doozy to its schedule.

On Sunday evening, you can catch the airing of “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” directed by Tomas Alfredson, on BBC Two. It’s an excellent choice to wrap up your week with some gripping spy drama.

Drawing inspiration from John le Carré’s novel, as well as the iconic BBC television series it spawned, the spellbinding spy thriller stands out as a precious jewel in British cinema, boasting an illustrious ensemble of top-tier talent.

Some well-known actors such as Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, Kathy Burke, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, and Stephen Graham grace this production with their exceptional talents. Each one gives a remarkable performance.

In the 1970s, during the tense period of the Cold War, the movie begins by revealing that there is a suspected Soviet spy embedded within the core of the British Intelligence service.

Oldman plays veteran spy George Smiley, who is called back from retirement to root the mole out.

The movie occupies a unique position within British cinema, and its creator, Alfonso, openly discussed the immense effort that went into bringing it to life.

Reaching our destination required time and effort, but the outcome was worth it all. The process, from brainstorming to execution, brought immense joy, particularly in crafting the overall concept and aesthetic.

If you’re eager to see it before Sunday, here’s some good news – you can stream it on Netflix right away!
