Cold War, Spy, Intense Dialogue, Suspense, Thriller
Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy this film despite the rating. My trouble is that cold war + spy genre is just not my cup of tea. Something about that combination makes me feel uncomfortable and a little lost. The artistry and editing in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold is tremendous, beautiful, poignant. I loved watching every scene. But the plot feels too dense, often hard to follow. I felt the same way about Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Maybe the book would have allowed me more time to soak in the nuances of the scheming.
