| Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Aktivisten Tessa Quayle findes myrdet i en fjerntliggende del af det nordlige Kenya. Tessas ledsager, en læge, ser ud til at være flygtet fra mordstedet, og sporene peger på et affektmord. Medlemmerne af den britiske høj-kommission i Nairobi formoder, at Tessas enkemand, deres rolige og uambitiøse kollega Justin Quayle, vil overlade efterforskningen til dem.
Men de kunne ikke tage mere fejl! Plaget af samvittighedskvaler overrasker Quayle alle ved at drage ud på en personlig odyssé, som fører ham tværs over det afrikanske kontinent. Ved at udnytte sin privilegerede adgang til diplomatiske hemmeligheder risikerer han sit eget liv, men intet kan stoppe ham i jagten på at afdække sandheden – en konspiration der rækker længere og er mere dødelig end Quayle nogensinde kunne have forestillet sig...
Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
Brazilian director Fernando Meirelles, whose previous film, CITY OF GOD, won awards all over the world and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2004 Oscars has crafted another highly entertaining yet important film. Beautifully shot in Kenya, Germany, Sudan, Manitoba, and London, THE CONSTANT GARDENER, based on a bestselling novel by John Le Carre, is an exciting mix of romance and spy thriller. Ralph Fiennes stars as Justin Quayle, a low-level British diplomat who has always gone about his work very quietly, not causing any problems. But after his radical wife, Tessa (Rachel Weisz), is killed, he becomes determined to find out why, thrusting himself into the middle of a very dangerous conspiracy. Jeffrey Caine's powerful screenplay alternates between flashbacks of Justin and Tessa's relationship and Justin's hunt for the truth, which makes him a target although he doesn't know who is after him. Fine support is offered by Danny Huston as his close friend and confidant, Sandy; Bill Nighy as shady British official Sir Bernard Pellegrin; and Hubert Kounde as Arnold Bluhm, an African doctor who might have been a little too friendly with Tessa. Meirelles's pacing is outstanding, switching effortlessly between political intrigue, action adventure, and love story. And Fiennes and Weisz give strong performances playing complex characters that will continually surprise the audience. THE CONSTANT GARDENER is a thrilling tale from start to finish. |
