"A woman wakes up in a lodge in the Alps. Her friends are gone. A glass wall separates her from the outside world. What has happened? Haushofer doesn’t give any answers. Written during the cold war and under the shadow of the threat of a nuclear war, “The Wall” is no less worth reading today."

"I love a Cold War thriller. This is an exercise in subtlety. It’s about bringing down Smiley’s arch rival, Karla, played by Patrick Stewart. It’s a really interesting portrait of Seventies Britain. Cortinas and flares: bring it on"

Another divisive movie that forces the viewer to take sides and try to back the correct approach and outcome, this all star cast enact a tense cold war scenario that is totally gripping and absorbing, a joy to watch.
