Review of Another Country (1984) by Alex S — 23 Jun 2013

Feels like the first half of the spy thriller that's aching to break out. Still, worth seeing for fine performances by young Rupert Everett and baby Colin Firth. There's entirely too much intra-house public school politics that I can't and don't care to follow, but there's also a sensitivity and understanding of the repressive and backwards atmosphere in these bastions of "tradition" (a microcasm of 1930s backwards/repressive/imperiallist British society) that led these outsiders to defect/turn Communist spies.
