Event Description
Bridge of Spies - (12A) - 2 hr 15 mins. Thriller.
BAFTA AND OSCAR WINNER BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR - Mark Rylance
OSCAR NOMINATION BEST DIRECTOR - BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY
BAFTA NOMINATED BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
Bridge of Spies is a gloriously glossy, impeccably produced espionage drama that spins a complex story of political intrigue and patriotism into timeless Hollywood entertainment, and reunites iconic director Steven Spielberg with contemporary cinema's favourite everyman Tom Hanks. Most enticingly, though, it represents the big-screen breakthrough of acclaimed stage actor, and star of TV's Wolf Hall, Mark Rylance,and his deeply affecting performances the film’s chief asset. Inspired by real events and beginning in 1957 during the height of the Cold War, the movie focuses on James B Donovan (Hanks), an esteemed insurance lawyer who was part of the prosecution team during the Nuremberg trials. To the dismay of his family, this man of formidable principle and idealistic American values agrees to represent one Rudolf Abel (Rylance) – an unassuming painter and Soviet spy living in Brooklyn, who's arrested at the film's outset in a tense but one-sided game of cat and mouse. Terrific entertainment.
