Factual error: We are told at some point that Nicole Kidman has dual nationality because she was born in the US. In the final scene, when she is talking with Sean Penn about her future steps, she says she has been deported and given one day to leave the country. She was a US citizen, so it is impossible that she would be "deported".

The Interpreter is a tense and fast-paced thriller involving the U.N., an assassination plot, political manipulations and ethnic cleansing. Nicole Kidman stars as a gifted translator who gets stuck in the middle of the growing danger, while Sean Penn plays a Secret Service Agent determined to figure out whether the Translator is innocent or guilty of some complicity in the plot, alternately trying to protect and potentially arrest her. If you like international politics, police dramas, and films that seem taken from news headlines, this might be to your liking.

Silvia Broome: Do you know that the leading cause of death for beavers is falling trees?
Trivia: This is the very first movie to be shot inside an actual U.N. building. Most of the extra cast members are actual members of the U.N.
Question: When Sylvia is reading through Simon's book, she writes down that Simon died, etc. Then she started to write "Sylvia". Why?
Chosen answer: At this point, she has set her mind on killing the African leader and knows she'll likely be killed immediately afterwards (police, bodyguards, etc). She's writing her name in anticipation of her death.
