David Bordwell has posted an excellent piece called “TINKER TAILOR: A Guide for the Perplexed” that analyzes the way the film deploys and withholds narrative information and also offers up a fascinating interpretation of how Smiley is portrayed in the film as opposed to in the novel and the mini-series. Great stuff, full of fascinating details.
