What happens
Spy Sorge (Japanese: スパイ・ゾルゲ, Hepburn: Supai Zoruge) is a 2003 Japanese historical drama biographical film co-written and directed by Masahiro Shinoda, about the World War II-era Soviet spy Richard Sorge. It stars Scottish actor Iain Glen in the title role. Shinoda intended the film, a long and lavish production, to be his final feature. True to his word, the director died 22 years later without having directed another film. Spy Sorge achieved only modest critical success and failed to recoup its budget at the box office. Despite this, the film received multiple nominations at the 27th Japan Academy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
