Plot
The Soviet spy Richard Sorge in Tokyo.
Sinekatalog’s take
Masahiro Shinoda's late film portrays the Soviet spy Richard Sorge in 1930s Tokyo. Handsome and ambitious, it covers a dramatic story with an even hand, though the film feels long and rather cool.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
