The Interpreter/a film review

Abstract: A 3 page film review that discusses the filmmaker's use of cinematic techniques to create a realistic, taut thriller. Director Sydney Pollack's "The Interpreter" (2005) is an intelligent thriller that makes excellent use of its cinematic medium, but has a plot sufficiently complex to have made a good novel. In other words, this is not a "pumped-up techno-thriller," as critic Roger Ebert observes, but rather presents a story in images that might well have been drawn from the pages of a recent newspaper. Rather than relying on unexpected twists, the plot builds incrementally, but carefully, which is one of the ways in which the filmmakers create a satisfying experience for the movie-goer. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
