Bridge of Spies - LaF 122

February 14, 2016 in LAF Podcast

Welcome to this special edition of LaF: LaF goes to the Oscars. Ryan and Richard, along with special guests, analyze and discuss the Best Picture nominations for 2015. For episode 122, the guys are reviewing director Steven Spielberg's Bridge of Spies. Co-written by Matt Charman, Joel and Ethan Coen, this period picture takes us back to the height of the Cold War to dramatize a prisoner exchange involving the downed American U2 spy plane pilot, Gary Powers and a KGB spy arrested for espionage. The taut thriller stars Tom Hanks as James Donovan, Amy Ryan as his wife Mary, and nominated best supporting actor Mark Rylance as the Soviet spy Rudolf Abel. In addition to Best Picture, this film has earned 5 other Oscar nominations including Production Design and Original Screenplay. 

Join us now as the LaF Podcast travels to Berlin's Glienicke Bridge in 1962 to review Bridge of Spies.
