Review of Bridge of Spies (2015) by Jeffaltman — 16 Oct 2015
Spielberg continues to do intense visually extraordinary film and this one is no exception. It is a meticulous story of a piece of The Cold War weaving two stories together into a prisoner exchange along a bridge in Berlin.
Adding The Coen Brothers brings pieces of their highly stylized view of film making into the production in service to the story, not the other way around as sometimes happens in Coen films. Yes, Tom Hanks holds this story together but Mark Rylance is fabulous as well in what should bring him a Best supporting Actor nomination.
The dialogue is tight yet textured for the era.
