Introduced many domestic spy dramas, today I want to give you a foreign spy war theme work, in fact, compared with the domestic spy war drama, some European and American countries in this kind of theme production is more long-standing, and in the application of technology and script writing more mature, especially the United States, Britain, the former Soviet Union as representatives. For example, the American drama "Homeland Security", the British drama "MI5", the former Soviet Union's "Seventeen Moments of Spring" are classics, and have had a profound impact on the creation of spy warfare genres in many other countries.
Today's recommended "Legendary Office" is a relatively unpopular French spy drama, directed by Eric Rochart and starring Matthew Kasovitz, Jean-Pierre Darushan, Sarah Giordo, etc., is a TV series about the life of French intelligence officers.
Paul Lefebvre and his girlfriend in Damascus returned from Syria to Paris, a taciturn but elegant man in a suit and coat who had been dressed all day and returned to the beautiful, secret office. Before that, his girlfriend in Damascus and most people in the war-torn city thought the middle-aged man a down-to-earth teacher, but in reality he wasn't called Paul Lefebal, he might be Called Guillaume de Baie, or something else that wasn't loud, and his colleagues in that paris office called him "Rough Man" when they welcomed him back—his code name, the absurd and somewhat mischievous code name that was closest to his true identity. He was a French agent whose service was called the "Legendary Office"...
That's the basic content of the first season of the show, which was filmed in 2015 and won several awards for best actor for actor Matthew Kasowitz. In 2016, this series once again became the most revenue-generating French drama abroad. The success of this play depends on a very solid and meticulous script and the wonderful acting skills of all the actors. The male protagonist, Matthew Casové, should be familiar to some audiences who like French films, he has starred in Jean-Pierre Genet's film "Angel Amelie" and Luc Besson's "The Fifth Element", and he is also a director and screenwriter, self-directed and self-starring in "Angry Youth" and "Milk Chocolate", and won the Best Director Award at the 48th Cannes Film Festival.
Matthew Kasovi plays an agent code-named "Savage" in the play, and after years of underground work, he feels difficult to integrate into the real society after returning to Paris, and after the appearance of his former lover, he begins to take risks again as if he was in Syria...
There are no gorgeous and dazzling scenes in the play, some are just some detailed descriptions of the life of the agents, such as: how to clear the identity, how to deal with lie detectors, how to negotiate, and even some training in the use of "safe house" rules... These are all things that we rarely see in domestic spy dramas. Secondly, in the choreographer's unhurried narration, the various games between spies and counter-spies under the hidden crisis are more moving, tense and terrifying.
Compared with American dramas, the theme of this French drama is more realistic, and the concept is exquisite, the layout is rigorous, and in terms of performance techniques, the high-level conversion of camera editing makes the plot twists and turns but smooth, compared to the mysterious and sensationalism of many domestic dramas, the last suspense of each episode naturally comes out with the plot, which makes the audience want to stop. As soon as the first season of the show was broadcast, it was sought after by audiences around the world, and finally closed with a Douban score of 8.9. The screenwriters are also rushing to work overtime, and at present, this spy drama has been filmed in its fifth season (10 episodes per season), and the seasons are wonderful! Interested audience friends can find this "Legendary Office" from the Internet to quietly appreciate it, you will definitely have different feelings.
