Anton Corbijn : 2014
When a brutally tortured immigrant turns up in Hamburg's Muslim community, laying claim to his father's ill-gotten fortune, both the German and US security agencies take a close interest. German spy Günther Bachmann tracks down Issa Karpov, the suspicious Chechen-Russian immigrant who is on the run in Hamburg. Pressured by his German and American colleagues to capture and interrogate his suspect as an Islamist terrorist, Bachmann instead asks for more time to carefully track Issa's movements and his relationship with his German immigration lawyer, Annabel Richter. Using his secret contacts and keen skill, Bachmann uncovers a connection between a world-renowned Muslim philanthropist and a terrorist group and devises a plan to use Issa and Annabel in a brilliant ploy to expose the scheme. A contemporary, cerebral tale of intrigue, love, rivalry and politics adapted from the novel by John le Carré. Anton Corbijn's third feature premiered at Sundance Film Festival 2014.
