Möbius (2013)

Also Known As: Die Möbius-Affäre
Year of first release: 2013
Director: Eirc Rochant
Actors: Cécile de France, Jean Dujardin, Tim Roth
Country: F, B, L
Genre: Polar
Conditions of visioning: 04.08.2013, Schauburg
Synopsis: An FSB (previously KGB) officer falls in love with his agent, an American woman, who works as a trader in a Russian bank.
Review: The story provides good twists all along the movie. The fact that the protagonists have all the impression to have the power and actually do not is atypical for a spy story. As well as to treat the love story without any of both knowing the true profession of the other. It is actually a nice love story, with a good scenery for the romantic scenes (music, contrasts) and tells with irony some scandals of the financial crisis. Some scenes are very well done, like the first look, the first date and other scenes focussing on both main actors. The acting of main characters is good, even if Tim Roth seems quite detached from the events, maybe a picture of the Russian business man that Western ones do not see through, or bored? 
Rating: 6 /10
