Preview: Farewell (2010)

Synopsis:

At the height of the Cold War, the French Intelligence officer brings a warning to U.S. about a Soviet spy operation that puts he and his wife in danger.

• Poster: C

Review:

I wish that these three colors would never appear together on a poster again. And when you're talking about the French Intelligence and the Soviet Union, either blue, white and red or red and yellow would have been better color choices. Otherwise, it's a fairly typical and unexceptional poster.

• Trailer: B+

Review:

A French foreign language film set in the Soviet Union with French, Serbian and American actors. With an interesting plot held tightly together by a well cut trailer, there's no doubt this is going to have the potential to be great.

Oscar Prospects:

Could this be France's submission next year? Possibly, but reviews haven't been great, so it might not have much of a shot.
