Funeral In Berlin ... Funereal In Westminster

Things I like: the work of Michael Caine; the writing of Len Deighton. These two elements collide to moderate effect in Funeral in Berlin. The plot wanders hither and thither and I rather lost trace of who was following who in divided Berlin but there are plenty of worse cinematic ways to pass a couple of hours. 6/10.

Things I don't like: self-aggrandising, affected politicians. I mention this because I am at present watching half-interestedly the parliamentary shenanigans over Brexit and it is spoilt by the showing-off of that twerp John Bercow. He clearly sees himself as a bit of a character. He is right but that does not make it a good thing
