A Spy Among Friends (2022)
Imperial spy Elliott
A movie about the world of spies, not a spy movie.
Captivating and dynamic to the end; even in crescendo.
The central character Nicholas Elliott is wonderful. He is "the spy among friends". The friends are everyone else: the defector Philby, the commoner Ann from MI5, the impetuous yankee Angelton, the arrogants Sir... "More involved than he looks", he is the real spy, with a vision. He puts things in order; everyone learns from him.
The film is not about Philby; but how do you make things move forward, how do you manage a crisis... in british style.
A film about the great world of British espionage, with the imperial spy Elliott.
P. S. It's in small spaces because it's not an action movie. And it's not "in darkness" but in the shadows. Because the focus falls on the characters, it's a battle of intelligences.
