I've watched it at least 10 times now and I must say it's become a bit of an obsession. The sets, the music, the mis en scene, the acting - particularly Gary Oldman's subtle expressions and incredible depth of character - and the casting is so perfect and the direction so flawless! It's mind-boggling. Such an incredible ensemble of actors telling a tale of absolute horror with restraint and only a while after watching it do you appreciate the quiet heroism of Smiley. I can't fault it.
