2014 (UK / USA) ( Biography, Drama, Thriller, War)
Starring: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode
Director: Morten Tyldum
Benedict Cumberbatch stars as Alan Turing, the asocial British mathematician who helped the Allies break the Nazi “Enigma” code, in this highly entertaining, immaculately produced drama about a genius-hero whose stiff-upper-lip resolve can’t block a kick in the teeth when, years after the war, he is prosecuted for the “crime” of homosexuality.
Winner of an Oscar for best adapted screenplay at this years Academy Awards, The Imitation Game is an intense and haunting portrayal of a brilliant, complicated man and genius who under nail-biting pressure helped to shorten the war and, in turn, save thousands of lives.
