"Father and son? That kind of relationship? Brawn to brain? More exact, perhaps, would be a son to his adopted father, which in the trade is to be held the strongest tie of all.

I loved playing George in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. It’s on the cards, and I know John le Carre is very keen to do Smiley’s People. It could be a five, even a 10-year break - the years pass between the middle book (The Honourable Schoolboy) and the last one (Smiley’s People) anyway. But we’ll do one, I hope. I miss him. I love George.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy: Peter Guillam

'I'm surprised they didn't throw you out with the rest of us,' he [Smiley] said, not very pleasantly, as he hauled the skirts of his coat more tightly round him. ‘You had all the qualifications: good at your work, loyal, discreet.’

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy

This movie remains one of the best thrillers of the past decade. The Cold War might be long over, but Cold War spy movies like this never feel outdated. Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in particular feels particularly timeless because despite being a recent release there is so much of it that feels reminiscent of thrillers from the 70’s. Obviously the story itself is of that era, since that’s author John le Carre’s specialty, and it’s from that era, written in ‘74. But more than that the music fits the genre, with a very blues-y feel to it. And to top it all off, the camera work is damn near identical to a lot of what came from that same era. Gary Oldman is damned good, too. Although his character does not significantly develop, and the performance is not especially unique, I can’t help but feel that his acting is phenomenal in its plainness. I can’t criticize too much that Jean Dujardin won the Academy Award for Best Actor that year, since he had a captivating performance in The Artist and the boyish glee he showed upon winning was the most charming thing I’d seen in a while, but against many other leading performances of the past few years he’s got to be in the top five.
