The Interpreter

• Crime
• Thriller

Silvia Broome, a seasoned United Nations interpreter haunted by a past she rarely acknowledges, finds her meticulously constructed world fractured when she overhears a chilling plot to assassinate an African head of state. Thrust into a high-stakes investigation alongside a skeptical Secret Service agent, the film distinguishes itself not through explosive action, but through a claustrophobic descent into the intricacies of language, political maneuvering, and the burden of witnessing hidden truths. It’s a tense and intellectually stimulating thriller where the crime unfolds not through traditional investigation, but through the subtle echoes and deliberate omissions within spoken words, forcing a reckoning with complicity and the fragility of international diplomacy. The film's atmosphere is one of pervasive paranoia, less focused on the *who* of the assassination and more on the unsettling realization of *how* easily power structures can be manipulated through deception.
