Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
" Trust no one. Suspect
everyone. "
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is the
long-awaited feature film version of John le Carré’s classic
bestselling novel. The thriller is directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let
the Right One In). The screenplay adaptation is by the writing team
of Bridget O’Connor & Peter Straughan.
The time is 1973. The Cold War of the mid-20th Century continues to
damage international relations. Britain’s Secret Intelligence
Service (SIS), a.k.a. MI6 and code-named the Circus, is striving to
keep pace with other countries’ espionage efforts and to keep the
U.K. secure. The head of the Circus, known as Control (John Hurt),
personally sends dedicated operative Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong)
into Hungary. But Jim’s mission goes bloodily awry, and Control is
forced out of the Circus – as is his top lieutenant, George Smiley
(Gary Oldman), a career spy with razor-sharp senses.
Estranged from his absent wife Ann, Smiley is soon called in to see
undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney); he is to be rehired
in secret at the government’s behest, as there is a gnawing fear
that the Circus has long been compromised by a double agent, or
mole, working for the Soviets and jeopardizing England. Supported
by younger agent Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch), Smiley
parses Circus activities past and present. In trying to track and
identify the mole, Smiley is haunted by his decades-earlier
interaction with the shadowy Russian spy master Karla.
The mole’s trail remains cold until maverick field agent Ricki Tarr
(Tom Hardy) unexpectedly contacts his handler, Guillam. While
undercover in Turkey, Ricki has fallen for a betrayed married
woman, Irina (Svetlana Khodchenkova), who claims to possess crucial
intelligence. Separately, Smiley learns that Control narrowed down
the list of mole suspects to five men. They are the ambitious Percy
Alleline (Toby Jones), whom he had code-named Tinker; suavely
confident Bill Haydon (Colin Firth), dubbed Tailor; stalwart Roy
Bland (Ciarán Hinds), called Soldier; officious Toby Esterhase
(David Dencik), dubbed Poor Man; and – Smiley himself, tagged as
Spy.
Even before the startling truth is revealed, the emotional and
physical tolls on the players enmeshed in the deadly international
spy game will escalate.

immediacy into Charlotte Brontë’s timeless, classic story. Mia
Wasikowska (Alice in Wonderland) and Michael Fassbender

romantic drama, the heroine of which continues to inspire new
generations of devoted readers and viewers.
Suffolk Digital Cinema Network
The
Suffolk
Digital Cinema Network was launched in 2004. Its
purpose was to enable communities to borrow the necessary equipment
to show films in Village and Community Halls. Membership of the
Network has grown to over 50 and several communities have purchased
their own equipment.
As Chairman of Polstead Village Hall I became a founder member
of the Network’s committee and Polstead Village Hall was one of the
first villages to show films. The main funding organisations have
been Screen East, the Awards for All Lottery Fund, EEDA, the
Suffolk Development Agency, Babergh, Forest Heath, Mid-Suffolk and
Suffolk Coastal District Councils. There are currently over 50
member groups showing films on a regular or occasional basis and
there are four sets of equipment stored across the county for
member groups to borrow.
Sue Wigglesworth (Chairman Suffolk Digital Cinema Network)
Doors open at 7-00pm and films begin at
7-30pm.
The Hall is fully licensed so there is a bar as well as tea, coffee
and Suffolk ice-cream to add to the enjoyment of the evening.
Tickets, £3-50, can be booked in advance at the
Community Shop, or by ringing Sue Wigglesworth on 01787 210029
