It's that thing when you're with someone, and you love them and they know it, and they love you and you know it... but it's a party... and you're both talking to other people, and you're laughing and shining... and you look across the room and catch each other's eyes... but - but not because you're possessive, or it's precisely sexual... but because... that is your person in this life. And it's funny and sad, but only because this life…

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy 2011
As usual with John Le Carré's novels, it took me some further research to understand the plot of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy in its entirety, considering all its twists, time jumps, double agents and codenames.

Even though changes like that are usually for the worse (see The Hobbit Trilogy) Denis Villeneuve has once again proven himself to be a master filmmaker with a holistic understanding of the source material. All changes are either to deepen characters like Chani, to pronounce the story's message more clearly or in some few cases to remove some of the complexity…
