Farewell DVD
In 1981, disenchanted with what the communist ideal has become, KGB Colonel Gregoriev (Emir Kusturica -Underground ) decides to change the world by passing on secret US documents to Pierre (Guillaume Canet -Tell No One, Little White Lies), a French engineer working in Moscow.
With Pierre acting as a reluctant go-between, the valuable documents find their way into the hands of France’s President Mitterrand and the French Secret Service, who give the Moscow source the codename ‘Farewell’.
Based on a true story, Farewell reveals one of the most astounding espionage cases to come out of the Cold War. Directed by Bafta Award nominated Christian Carion (Joyeux Noel), Farewell features a stellar award-winning cast including Alexandra Maria Lara (The Reader) and Willem Dafoe (Spiderman 3) who convincingly depict the paranoia of the time as well as the courage and bravery of the individuals involved.
Director Christian Carion’s effortless attention to detail achieves spectacular cinematographic beauty and captures the stark Soviet way of life. This absorbing espionage thriller will be available for the first time on Blu-rayTM and DVD from 29th August 2011.
