The Night Manager – Susanne Bier

The Night Manager is a contemporary interpretation of John le Carré’s best-selling spy novel and follows former British soldier Jonathan Pine who is working as the night manager at the Nefertiti Hotel in Cairo at the height of the Arab Spring. He is asked to go undercover and bring down international arms dealer Richard Roper. Susanne Bier (who's In A Better World won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2011) directed this lavish mini-series with many references to James Bond.
