Review of Diplomacy

Diplomacy (2014)
7/10
Playing by ... rules

It makes sense that this is based on a play (which I haven't seen and didn't know prior to watching the movie). The movie itself feels like a play. Which might not be your cup of tea of course but is handled with great care. It's a tough subject nonetheless, though mostly not in a visual sense.

It's a movie where there is a lot of talks and which gives you a feeling of what politics and decision making is all about. It's about what orders are, what the consequences can be if they are not followed and the absurdity to know when something is over but still having to try to maintain an order and do/say despicable things. Great acting in a dual language film (german/french), that is riveting in its own rights ...
