Details: Movieman.de Sydney Pollack's political thriller also benefits from cinematographer Darius Khondji's practiced eye, which ensures a visual style that was not uncommon for a film of this kind in the 1970s. The 1970s were the decade of the political thriller. Accordingly, it's fashionable to follow this style, which, even 30 years later, still creates an interesting cinematic feel. The Interpreter is a film that runs over two hours but is gripping from the start, with a story far more complex than it appears at first glance. The film is not only convincing as a political thriller, but also deals with other questions, such as how to deal with personal loss and one's own past. Conclusion: A gripping political thriller Movieman's commentary on the DVD: The picture is at times very vivid. The colors are intense and linger strongly, but not oversaturated. They have a very warm, wonderful ambiance. The contrast is sometimes almost overpowering, but balanced and ensures rich contours. The compression is slightly noticeable, but not distracting. The sharpness is pleasing, although there may have been some filtering, as minimal double contours are occasionally noticeable. The sound is good, considering that this is a political thriller that largely dispenses with action. Even in the action scenes, there isn't a great deal of dynamic range. The dialogue, however, is clearly understandable, although the original seems somewhat more realistic. There is no bonus material. --movieman.de Product description Ever since Silvia Broome overheard a conversation about an African dictator being assassinated during his UN speech, her life and credibility have been threatened.
