Another Country
Convention outraged. A class abandoned. A country betrayed.
Directed by Marek Kanievska
Produced by Goldcrest, National Film Finance Corporation (NFFC)
A melancholic, intellectually rigorous examination of how a gifted outsider's alienation at an elite British school set him on a path toward betrayal and espionage.
In Moscow in 1983, an American journalist interviews Guy Bennett, who recalls his last year at public school, fifty years before, and how it contributed to his becoming a spy.
