I am in Greece and I just saw the Interpreter here. I read the book the Interpreter by Suzanne Glass a while back, and I was sure that this movie was inspired by her book. Well, now I know that it was! Her name is mentioned in the film credits. I thought the film was great, however they changed so much from the book which i had enjoyed immensely. Only the beginning of the film is exactly the same. Nicole Kidmans performance in the film is very strong although her South African accent could be better. Sean Penn, as usual, is dynamite.The most interesting thing for me was the insight into the world of interpreting which i had begun to understand by reading Glass's novel. It really is the most strenuous and demanding profession that i can imagine a person can enter into. I am sure this film will do extremely well in the united stated market. In my view, it is Oscar worthy and will certainly receive a few nominations.
