The Playlist：Empire Big Screen ‘11: First Footage From ‘Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy’ Is Flat-Out Terrific

The first showed the top brass of The Circus (the code name for the British intelligence services) as they debate a piece of information dug up by Percy Alleline (a Scottish-accented Toby Jones), a plan known as Operation Witchcraft. It’s a room full of top-flight acting talent?Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, David Dencik and Ciaran Hinds?and it’s clear that watching their interplay and politicking will be one of the great pleasures of the film. Hurt rants and raves, clearly losing control, Firth observes, amused, and Oldman, nearly unrecognizable as George Smiley, is a picture of calm.

The second seems to be a major suspense sequence, as Smiley’s protege Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch) is tasked with retrieving a crucial file from within the Circus itself. The detailed eye for period that director Tomas Alfredson showed in “Let The Right One In” has clearly returned; it’s a beautifully designed, firmly lived-in world, and even minor characters-the receptionist who clearly has a crush on Guillam-are beautifully played. Perhaps even more exciting is how old-fashioned the thrills are: Straughan described it as “old school,” and it certainly is, but it’s also deeply suspenseful while remaining restrained, aided by what sounds like a very promising score from regular Almodovar collaborator Alberto Iglesias.

The final clip focused on Tom Hardy‘s Ricky Tarr, who relates the story of what happened in Istanbul, events which start off the hunt for the mole that becomes the film’s throughline. Hardy is very different here compared to recent roles for the break-out star; softly-spoken, almost vulnerable. The Istanbul scenes were beautifully shot and characterful, while the final moment, a “Rear Window”-inspired moment where Tarr watches his target, Boris, beat his wife, was particularly strong.

If it is possible for us to be more excited about the film than we already were, it’s happened: it really looks like Alfredson’s pulled it off, and we’re counting the days until we see it in Venice. Otherwise, things were more mixed. Working Title also premiered a trailer for another thriller, the Mark Wahlberg vehicle “Contraband,” and it seems like it could be a decent enough programmer, landing somewhere between “The Town” and season 2 of “The Wire.” Our biggest concern is about Giovanni Ribisi‘s villain?heavily tattooed and ridiculously accented, his performance looks like it could overpower the film. Hopefully it’ll work better in context.

この作品でのベネディクトの役(ピーター・ギラム)は、高度な駆け引きを繰り広げる百戦錬磨の老練スパイ達(そのうちの誰かがソ連のWスパイ)に比べると地味で遣い走りなのですが、それでも粗末にされることなく丁寧に美しく撮られている模様。

EMPIRE：New Tinker Tailor Clips At Big Screen

Producer Robyn Slovo and screenwriter Peter Straughan were there to introduce three new clips from the film. The first showed the influence of MI6's 'Control' (John Hurt) waning within the agency's HQ. Better known as 'the Circus', it's the setting for some heavyweight acting. Tight and claustrophobic, Hurt and Toby Jones' Percy Alleline slug it out verbally over Alleline's mysterious new 'Witchcraft' intel.

The second gave our first look proper at Gary Oldman's Smiley, the character made famous on-screen by Alec Guinness in the 1979 BBC dramatisation. The soft lisp, inscrutable gaze and middle-age slouch disguise an iron will and cat-like intelligence. He's every bit as 'Smiley' as we were expecting: a pitch-perfect reinvention of a literary and screen icon. The scene saw Smiley send his trusted confederate Peter Guillam on what looks like a fool's errand to lift a key dossier from the Circus. It's a nerve-racking and beautifully designed sequence that just sings on the big screen.

The third sequence from Tomas Alfredson's thriller flashed back to MI6 agent Ricky Tarr's time in Portugal, and the first revelation of a Soviet mole in the Circus. It's Tom Hardy's chance to shine. The vignette takes up most of an episode in the BBC's '70s adaptation of John le Carre's novel, and the movie looks like giving equal weight to Tarr's pivotal back story.

8月末からのヴェネチア映画祭での評判が気になりますね。

UKでの公開は2011.09.16に決定。US公開は2011.11.18。気になる日本公開はまだ未定。
