Director
Sidney Pollack's diverse career sees him returning to
familiar ground with THE INTERPRETER. Crafted from the
same mould that saw Pollack produce the superlative
political thriller THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR (1975), Nicole
Kidman and Sean Penn star in a film riddled with
subterfuge, recriminations, and deadly secrets.
Kidman plays Silvia Broome, an interpreter who works at
the UN in New York City. One night, while collecting a bag
she has left behind in the building, Silvia overhears a
whispered conversation in which an assassination attempt
on a redoubtable African leader, named Zuwanie (Earl
Cameron), is planned during his future visit to the UN.
Secret service agent Tobin Keller (Penn) is assigned to
provide security for Zuwanie on the forthcoming trip, and
conducts an investigation when Silvia explains what she
has heard. He quickly discovers that Silvia has a lengthy,
troubled past as a citizen from the same country as
Zuwanie, and immediately doubts her story. A series of
frantic, fast-paced set pieces ensue, with Pollack
beautifully capturing the architectural wonder of the UN,
and staging some breathtaking scenes all over the city.
Much has been made of THE INTERPRETER'S status as the
first film to be shot inside the UN, and it's to Pollack's
credit that he wasn't overawed by such a prospect. Making
full use of the building, the director highlights the
hustle and bustle of a typical day at the UN, while also
shooting eerily silent late night scenes among the famous
halls and corridors. As Pollack piles on the tension, Penn
and Kidman deliver exemplary performances alongside a
prodigious supporting cast, who do justice to an
intelligently written plot designed to keep viewers
guessing right up until the final moments of the film!!
