With “The Night Manager” explores director Susanne Bier, the attraction of evil. The so contemporary as stylish adaption of the bestselling hits the taste of author John le Carré.
Suddenly there’s this old man, white hair, bushy eyebrows, woolen sweater against the ugly Berlin February cold, the past pushes to the journalists by the hotel corridor. His appearance is so inconspicuous that nobody takes notice him. Whether he has learned in his time at the British domestic and foreign intelligence? Only when a Swedish colleague says to him, others identify in dim light on their next interview waiting journalists the elderly gentleman as John le Carré, of the premiere of the Amazon series The Night Manager , based on his bestseller ,
John le Carré has come to the capital are indeed even any interviews on that day, but his mere presence increases the response to the ensuing question first. Whether he was pleased with the adaptation of his novel, wants to know the Swede. Very much so, replies le Carré, who is also the producer of The Night Manager (and a tiny appearance has), smiles and pushes further. In the British press, he even spoke of an “unexpected wonder”.
In order for the writer alludes to the two unsuccessful attempts to film the 1993 published novel on. More than 20 years did it take to have Writer David Farr and director Susanne Bier, freed from the two-hour feature film Corset, the story helped to her right. Le Carré, feels “those glorious days in the seventies,” recalls, as the BBC’s adaptation of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with Alec Guinness created.
disarming charm: Jonathan Pine (Tom Hiddleston, 2nd from right) has won the trust of arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie, 3rd from right) won.
(Photo: Deswillie )Who The Night Manager has seen, can the joy le Carré well understand, because the six-part miniseries is as contemporary as stylish adaptation the thriller to the hotel staff Jonathan Pine, who goes as a secret spy on enemy territory and in the closest circle of dealer Richard Onslow Roper infiltrates to avenge the murdered mistress of a Roper accomplices. This had to die because they had to play document about an illegal deal to the British authorities.
The Dane Susanne Bier, whose film was In a Better World 2011 awarded the Foreign Language Film Oscar , often used the word crucial , crucial when she talks about her latest directorial effort, giving the impression underlines that it knows exactly what it does. Apparently rushes beer the reputation of a particularly uncompromising creative advance. “I knew we would not necessarily agree on everything,” says Roper Actor Hugh Laurie, “but I was sure that the outcome would be good.” And that was for him after the end of his signature role Dr. House the main thing was. Filming describes Laurie as “very pleasant discussion”.
Behind the philanthropists-façade is a fiend. War is for Roper “spectator sport”
At the elementary beer things include the representation of wealth by Richard Roper: Finding the location of his property in Mallorca, was equally important as the casting of the main characters, is Villa but “a character in itself”: “In order for the audience at all afraid to ask if Jonathan Pine remains true to its mission or is seduced by Roper, whose world has attractive, be elegant.” She could not remember much that she wanted to be friends with Roper when she read the book for the first time. “Quite disturbing,” says Beer. “With the worst man in the world wants to hang out and go on vacation.” The Night Manager is therefore not least a series on the attraction of evil. Or in the words of Hugh Laurie: “The devil must of course be charming, no one else would who voluntarily go near him.”
Laurie Roper is the powerhouse of The Night Manager – man, free of (self-) doubts and therefore also of scruples, determined to profit from the madness of the world, even to fire him. Behind the facade of the deep-pocketed philanthropists lies a cynical fiend. “If a continent plunges into chaos,” he says, “to open up new possibilities.” War is for Roper “spectator sport”. In one scene, he directed the practical test of a weapons arsenal as a city festival fireworks and lights a cigar: There is but “nothing like Napalm at night”
So repulsive is its behavior. Unlike his by him (financially) dependent environment is free Roper. He has no consideration for anyone taking – and does not even think. During his entourage sweating in suits and ties, Roper usually wears linen shirts in bright colors or sometimes robe. More projection for Lotto player desires could hardly be.
On the other hand the part of Tom Hiddleston is downright ungrateful, so adaptable it is so interchangeable. An identity is Jonathan Pine quite like any other. He changes as the tailored suits, the Ropers Schneider designs for him. He was “an actor who plays the actor,” says Hiddleston ( Thor ). This Pine had “the gift of being able to hide in open country”. Him have irritated it that Pine “others and themselves a mystery” was: “He is a character who finds security in the mask” – whether past as a soldier, as a night manager or now as an intelligence spies. Hiddleston praises director beer for her psychological skills, their “brilliant drawing of the complexity of the human condition”.
Even if the cat-and-mouse game of Pine and Roper, the forces measuring their intelligence, The Night Manager dominated the class of the series shows just dealing with the secondary characters: Olivia Colman as Pines pregnant liaison officer Angela Burr (in the book man), Tom Hollander as disgraced falling strawman major Lance “Corky” Corkoran and Elizabeth Debicki as Ropers janus-faced lover Jed Marshall – they all have their own history, their own secrets and are not mere stooges. The series behaving for the feature film as the novel to short story, says director beer. You enjoyed it, to have “more room for detours and the smaller roles”. Too cuddly one should production not imagine with so many actors and film locations but: beer called a “logistical nightmare” and compares the challenge it, “to play three boards parallel chess”. Not everyone can do; Susanne Bier has mastered it so confidently that a sequel – in which constellation and with which focus always -. Obviously in planning
The Night Manager, now from Amazon Prime.
