The
Interpreter
RATED: M (MV,LL,AT)
Director: Sydney Pollack
Screenwriter: Charles Randolph, Scott Frank, Steven Zaillian
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Sean Penn, Catherine Keener, Maz Jobrani,
Tsai Chin
Time: 125mins
Directed by Oscar®
winner Sydney Pollack, whose classic thrillers "Three Days
of the Condor," "Absence of Malice" and "The
Firm" have set the standard for the genre, "The Interpreter"
stars Academy Award® winners Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn in
a suspenseful thriller of international intrigue set inside the
political corridors of the United Nations and on the streets of
New York.
Kidman stars as African-born
U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome, who inadvertently overhears a death
threat against an African head of state scheduled to address the
United Nation's General Assembly. Realizing she's become a target
of the assassins as well, Silvia's desperate to thwart the plot...if
only she can survive long enough to get someone to believe her.
Sean Penn is Tobin Keller, the federal agent charged with protecting
the interpreter, who nonetheless suspects she may not be telling
the whole truth. Silvia and Tobin, by nature, see life from different
points of view: one, a U.N. interpreter, believes in the power and
sanctity of words; the other, a Secret Service agent, believes in
reading people based on their behavior, no matter what is said.
In the right hallway,
at the right time, all it takes is a whisper to tip the balance
of power.

This is the story
of Lolita Cassard, a young woman of twenty years who has it in for
the entire world because she doesn't look like the girls in glossy
magazines, who doesn't look a thing like her young mother-in-law,
and who would so much like to feel beautiful, at least in her father's
eyes, if only her father's eyes could find her. But this is also
the story of a man named Etienne Cassard, who doesn't see other
people much at all because he's busy looking at himself, feeling
older, a man who very likely wanted for love himself, who struggled
long and hard to find his place in the world. This is the story
of writer named Pierre Miller, who's lost faith, who doubts he'll
ever meet with success, who meets with success and who meets Etienne
Cassard. This is the story of a singing teacher, Sylvia Miller,
who believes in her husband, at least in his talent, but who has
doubts about her own and that of her pupil, Lolita - until she realizes
she's the daughter of Etienne Cassard, the author she admires so
much. This is the story of human beings who know exactly what they'd
do if they were somebody else, but can't handle being themselves
very well, who are very simply struggling to find out who they are.
