Along with director John Madden and Ben McIntyre, the author of the book from which the film was shot, Colin Firth, Matthew McFadden, Jason Isaacs, Johnny Flynn, Penelope Wilton and Kelly MacDonald, return to the incredible true story of “La Ruse.”
In the genre “Incredible but true”The story of La Ruse clearly appears there: in 1943, two brilliant British intelligence officers managed to carry out the operation, both incredible and successful. To help the Allies return to Sicily from Nazi Germany, they really manage to convince them of the imminent landing in Greece in order to divert attention.
Like the traditional boxes that precede the final subtitles of this type of film, the story told by La Russe really took place. If director John Madden got some freedom on the facts, as did author Ben McIntyre, whose book formed the basis of the script, the key is here. And this operation, which was inevitably unsuccessful, eventually changed the course of World War II.
To bring back this amazing weapon, John Madden offered himself under the direction of the prestigious actor Colin Firth, whose director he has already filmed in Shakespeare in love, another film that deals with an unknown part of famous history. For the King’s Speech with Oscar-winning actor we meet Matthew McFadden (Pride and Superstition), Penelope Wilton (also playing Downton Abbey II this Wednesday, April 27), Kelly MacDonald (Trainspotting), Jason Isaac Malf (Poe). ) Or Johnny Flynn (The Jersey Case).
Johnny Flynn, the same Ian Fleming, in the movie “The Ruse”
The latter embodies a character well known to film lovers: someone Ian Fleming, who is none other than the author of the adventures of James Bond, born in part thanks to his experience in intelligence services during World War II. In his presence, La Ruse goes beyond the thrilling story he tells and becomes a film about espionage in general, especially in movies and novels.
Although 007 by Daniel Craig has just been cast, Johnny Flynn and the rest of the cast of the feature film come back with us to this true story, which is very well known in the UK but much less so in France. You will probably learn a lot during the session.
