TRIPLE AGENT (2003)
ERIC ROHMER
Plot
White Russian General Fyodor Voronin is living as an exile in Paris with his devoted wife Arsinoe, but even to her he is an enigma. In the turmoil of a pre-WWII Europe where do the man's loyalties lie? To old Russia, to the Communists, or perhaps even the Nazi's? Based on a real unsolved mystery the film concentrates not on the mechanics of espionage, but on the consequences, emotional and other, of a world where deceit, concealment and conspiracy are the norm. Who and what do you believe? Triple Agent is a beautifully told and visualised tale of love and betrayal by one of the greats of French cinema, Eric Rohmer.
