The Russia House (DVD)

Mr. Sean Connery is one of our very dearest actors and Michelle Pfeiffer rates as one of the very most beautiful women and talented actresses in the entire world.

This is a movie which deals with the element of human striving for companionship amidst a coldness that pervades many a beautiful soul at different times of upheaval in their lives and in ther environments.

While Connery and Pfeiffer are not convincing as an ideally suited couple, Connery shows great taste in the choice he makes to gain her love. A very beautiful unfolding in this respect which makes the movie very special indeed.

Championing the cause of real and true idealism in the style of a great hero, Connerys character makes a very risky and suspenseful play to maintain the balance of power in east west nuclear deterrence based on nothing more than hiw actions as a lone operator in the theatre at his level of intellectual functioning.

If you enjoy spy movies in the Lecarre genre and are intellectually curious in this respect, youll absolutely love this movie.

And then again I would never have missed it for the real treat it is to have Michelle Pfeiffer show off her real human beauty which captures the imagination of all in giving us a real sense of what it is to live and what it is we would die for. That is the message in the end and it gives Connerys character the food for thought that leads to his brave decision.

A movie you will love to have in your home library!
