Documentary great Errol Morris turns his eye to the storied life and career of former British spy David Cornwell
Better known as John le Carré, author of such classic espionage novels as The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Constant Gardener.
Set against the turbulent backdrop of the Cold War and leading into present day, The Pigeon Tunnel spans six decades as le Carré delivers his final and most candid interview, punctuated with rare archival footage.
A game of question, obfuscation and revelation between Morris and le Carré, this deeply engaging film is an exploration of the latter’s extraordinary life and the paper-thin membrane between fact and fiction.
