Intimate view of operation's final act (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
close up
This clue is a double definition.
'intimate view' is the first definition.
(a detailed camera shot)
'operation's final act' is the second definition.
(as in a surgeon closing up an incision)
'of' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for close up that I've seen before include "Approach" , "Cease, or cause to cease, operating" , "fall silent" , "Photograph" , "shot from short range" .)
