Koch Lorber Films and Compagnie Eric Rohmer / Rezo Films / Rezo Prods. present - "TRIPLE AGENT" (2004) - Eric Rohmer, (Dolby Digital) --- Under Eric Rohmer (Director / Screenwriter), Francoise Etchegaray (Producer), Philippe Liegois (Producer), Jean-Michel Rey (Producer), Diane Baratier (Cinematographer), Mary Stephen (Editor), Antoine Fontaine (Art Director) ------ the cast includes Katerina Didaskalu (Arsinoe), Serge Renko (Fyodor), Cyrielle Claire (Maguy), Grigori Manukov (Boris), Dimitri Rafalsky (General Dobrinsky), Nathalia Krougly (La Generale), Amanda Langlet (Janine), Jeanne Rambur (Dany), Emmanuel Salinger (Andre), Vitalyi Cheremet (Alexis Tcherepnine), Bernard Peysson (Le medecin), Laurent Le Doyen (Le journaliste), Emilie Fourrier (L'aide-couturiere), Alexandre Koltchak (Planton), Vladimir Léon (Chernov) ------ our story enters the political world of espionage between Marxists, Communists and Soviets and the man who knew all the secrets of deception ... if there is another war who's side will the White Russians step up to join ... is General Fyodor deceiving many of his comrades plus his wife ... Rohmer creates an invigoratingly ambitious film, based on factual accounts ... the tension between political action and personal responsibility (as well as between fact and perception) thrums on every level, and Rohmer's formal voice is cool and ironic, jump-cutting between scenes and patiently observing the characters try to talk their way out of big continental trouble ... the acting, mostly by Didaskalu and Serge Renko, masterful, but you get to see them handle acres of thought, dialogue, and interaction without interruption ... Director Rohmer views the film and plot line from the perspective of a heart-strong woman: Katerina Didaskalu, as the Skobline character's sensual, art-devoted wife, who pays the biggest price of all ... not to be a spoiler, but this film spells pure suspense with a flair for mystery thrown in for good measure.

Summary of Triple AgentTrue lies are given a historical spin in Eric Rohmer's invigoratingly ambitious Triple Agent. A period tragedy in the vein of the octogenarian French New Wave director's The Lady And The Duke, it's very loosely based on the true story of White Russian Army general Fyodor (Serge Renko) who played a triply duplicitous role as a spy in 30s France, deceiving not only Marxists, Soviets and Fascists but also his long-suffering wife Arsinoé (Katerina Didaskalou) until the forces of history finally caught up with him.
