I enjoy Cold War thrillers as well. |
Wow! I'm with the critics then. I couldn't get enough of it. So many great little character moments packed into the running time, all performed to perfection by the ensemble cast. Would've liked a bit more time with Toby Jones' Alleline though, especially as we never saw his fall from grace at the end. Superb production design, unfussy in the detail in the way some period dramas get bogged down by. And all directed with Alfredson's (and/or his cinematographer's) extrordinary eye for slick shot composition. Can't wait to see what he does next . . .
