John le Carré – „Dame, König, As, Spion“ (2011)

Einer wie George Smiley war 2011 eigentlich schon lange aus der Zeit gefallen. Und so hat die behutsame Modernisierung dieses Spionageklassikers diesem Veteranen des kalten Krieges gutgetan. Wo Alec Guinness seinerzeit (1979) noch mehr als fünf Stunden Zeit hatte, bekam Gary Oldman allerdings nur knapp zwei. Deshalb wurde aus einer epischen Romanverfilmung aber kein Actionfilm. Es sind noch immer die Charaktere, welche die komplexe Handlung und Geschichte treiben. Und die großartigen Darsteller. (ARD, WH)
