THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY Studiocanal/Working title 2014. cert 12. 5055201825551. Thriller set in Athens, Greece 1962. Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith, who also wrote The Talented Mr. Ripley. The trailer for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is impressive. Viggo Mortensen plays a wealthy businessman named Chester that is holidaying with his young wife Colette (Kirsten Dunst). Their tour guide Rydal (Oscar Isaac) is not all he seems. They have been in many good films, which I'll link to. Rydal had recieved a letter from his mother asking him to attend his father's funeral. He is abit of a hustler. Some plot twists, elements of revenge, paranoia and a love triangle. Contains moderate violence and swearing. Some dialogue in greek, subtitled in english. One clever scene in the market stall that i'm trying to work out. Chester fought in WW2. A strange man has turned up at the hotel. He represents a client that invested money with Chester. They're on the run. Good look at the scenery and greek culture. Good acting. See the trailer.
Colette takes of her bra. You see a side-boob. No bonus features, would've been nice to see some extras. The characters are questioning who to trust. Weird little girl asking to wear Colette's sunglasses. I reckon there are positive reviews on Amazon. Lots of suspense. With the drama, you could call it a 'greek tragedy'. Some scenes shot in Istanbul, Turkey. The soundtrack is a mix of classical and folk music. I think you should see this. Out to rent/buy now.
