Charlie Wilson's Story: How the West (Really) Ended the Cold War

Mike Nichols' newest film Charlie Wilson's War is an experience: So much wit and immediacy are rarely packed into 100 minutes in the cinema. The dialogue sparkles, the characters charm, and the compelling story give a fascinating glimpse into a piece of recent history central to contemporary politics.

For anyone normally sceptical of Hollywood, this sharp-edged political comedy starring Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, that opened in Vienna in January, comes as a pleasant surprise. The exceptional pacing and dialogue display all the hallmarks of the film's award-winning screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, author of several successful stage plays and the enormously popular TV series The West Wing.
