In 1981 Colonel Grigoriev (Emir Kusturica) of the KGB (real name Vladimir Vetrov), disenchanted with what the communist ideal has become under Brezhnev, decides he is going to change the world. Discreetly, he makes contact with a French engineer working for Thompson in Moscow, Pierre, (Guillaume Canet) and little by little passes on documents to him - mainly concerning the United States - information which would constitute the most important Cold War espionage operation known to date. During a period of two years, French President Francois Mitterrand (Philippe Magnan) was to personally vet the documents supplied by this source in Moscow, to whom the French Secret Service gave the codename ‘Farewell’.

The movie undoubtedly has its charm. The leading role was played by Emir Kusturica, who can captivate the audience when sitting on the director’s chair, with a guitar in his hand and even in front of the camera as an actor. However, you have to reckon with an extremely slow pace, which is not helped by the length of the movie either. If you get into the story, which is not that difficult, you will be rewarded with an honest testimony about the espionage world of KGB and CIA. Honestly, the Hollywood-looking action movies where everything is ideal have nothing on this movie. This French espionage thriller couldn’t be more realistic. But count on the fact that with realism comes fewer action twists. On the other hand, the creators could spare us the boredom and add a little suspense into the premise. In this case it literally suggests itself. Not talking about the fact that it is clear right from the beginning where this espionage piece is going…
