THE PIGEON TUNNEL

THE PIGEON TUNNEL

Oscar-winning filmmaker Errol Morris interviews David Cornwell aka John Le Carre, who describes this as the “definitive” interview before his death. Crucial to the narrative is Cornwell’s relationship to his father Ronnie, a con artist who was endlessly on the run from the mob or the police. Morris keeps the visuals as lively as the conversation, creating his own cinematic imaginings of Cornwell’s history along with clips from famous film and TV adaptations of Le Carré’s thrillers.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Errol Morris.
