In the mood for a moody plot from John LeCarre? Hope so because for our July outing, we'll be seeing Our Kind of Traitor at the Varsity Cinema (ManuLife Centre, Bay & Bloor) on Tuesday, July 5. Screen time is 1:30, so let's meet near the box office about 20 minutes earlier. As always, if you don't see Movie Club members when you arrive, just go in and watch the film. Afterward, if you've signed up for a nosh & natter downstairs at Scaccia, look for us near the escalator or just go to the restaurant. Below are the deets about the movie.
SYNOPSIS:
While on holiday in Marrakech, an ordinary English couple, Perry (Ewan McGregor) and Gail (Naomie Harris), befriend a flamboyant and charismatic Russian, Dima (Stellan Skarsgard), who unbeknownst to them is a kingpin money launderer for the Russian mafia.
When Dima asks for their help to deliver classified information to the British Secret Services, Perry and Gail get caught in a dangerous world of international espionage and dirty politics. The couple is propelled on a perilous journey through Paris and Bern, a safe house in the French Alps, to the murky corners of the City of London and to an alliance with the British Government via a ruthless and determined MI6 agent (Damian Lewis).
