The Interpreter

In The Interpreter, Silvia Broome, a UN interpreter haunted by her past, uncovers a sinister plot during a high-level conference. As she relays the threat to an American Secret Service agent, the film navigates the precarious interplay between international diplomacy and covert operations. Director Sydney Pollack casts a wary eye over the moral ambiguities and bureaucratic machinations of global politics, where words are both weapons and shields, and the line between interpreter and informant blurs perilously.
