Errol Morris’ 'The Pigeon Tunnel' follows a wily, cynical, yet chipper John le Carré down a rabbit hole of Cold War moral ambiguity.
John le Carré, whose birth name was David Cornwell, died in 2020
Errol Morris’s conversation with the late David Cornwell in “ The Pigeon Tunnel ” is fascinating even without the filmmaking flourishes. Cornwell, better known by his pen name John le Carré, was the spy-turned-novelist whose tales of espionage and betrayal defined an era, gave literary heft to a genre and inspired numerous adaptations. Cornwell died in 2020 at 89, and this film which will be streaming on Apple TV+ Friday, is said to be his final and “most candid” interview.
