39 of 39 · most liked firstthe John le Carre interview film The Pigeon Tunnel: his absolute loathing of Kim Philby never ceases to delight. This time I noted his throwaway line about Philby's 'addiction to betrayal': "if you'd given him your cat to look after for a couple of weeks he'd have betrayed the cat somehow"
unlabelledView post →#filmsky #moviesky #tvsky #booksky Highly recommend Errol Morris’ film about former MI5 & MI6 spy, and espionage novelist, John le Carré #BOTD (Books/films e.g. Constant Gardener, The Spy Who Came in the Cold, The Little Drummer Girl, Tinker Taylor…) The Pigeon Tunnel, 2023
unlabelledView post →The Pigeon Tunnel is an excellent new documentary about John le Carré. I look at the film and recommend three more classics directed by Errol Morris, who has had a huge influence on the documentary and true crime genres

unlabelledView post →Watched a couple of good recent documentaries on Apple TV. Errol Morris’s John le Carre profile The Pigeon Tunnel and Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. Between the two of them, Fox comes off as the more reliable narrator.

unlabelledView post →Morris, a man of formidable intellect, operates as if interrogation itself is a form of revelation. He approached le Carré in 'The Pigeon Tunnel' fully aware of the author's reticence. Yet, the resulting film, a study in subtle evasion, proved as captivating as any straightforward exposé.
unlabelledView post →Yes. Example: His memoir THE PIGEON TUNNEL is as much a novel as anything else. He admits it in the Errol Morris film of that title. For me it’s basic: Pretending things really happened to you that didn’t is not memoir, it’s being a b.s. artist. It’s a pet peeve of mine. Writers don’t get a pass…
unlabelledView post →@harkaway.bsky.social When I read THE PIGEON TUNNEL I kept thinking each chapter was the winner until I read the next one that topped it. Reading it closer, watching the Errol Morris film, I wondered if, like A MOVEABLE FEAST or TRAVELS WITH CHARLEY, it wasn’t perhaps another Le Carré fiction…
unlabelledView post →I’ve read the novel, seen the series, watched the film multiple times, I love Smiley, I’ve read Le Carré since 1964, I love THE PIGEON TUNNEL, I’ve read the letters… but I swear I still cannot keep TINKER, TAILOR straight. BLEAK HOUSE is easier!
unlabelledView post →I was thinking exactly what Matt Zoller Seitz wrote the other day when I watched Errol Morris’s film ”The Pigeon Tunnel”, about John Le Carré, with its pushing of a metaphor to the point of absurdity – at one point a room full of pigeon eggs! Le Carré himself was great, though.
unlabelledView post →I want to join Apple TV just to watch "The Pigeon Tunnel." I love Errol Morris and I love John LeCarre. How did I not hear about this film until last week?
unlabelledView post →I just started reading The Pigeon Tunnel and was ecstatic to see a show by this name on Apple. Not a movie about the book, but even better, a movie about the author!

unlabelledView post →The Pigeon Tunnel on Apple TV is a masterclass. 🎇 John le Carré wasn’t on my radar before this a massive oversight. This film showed me exactly what I’ve been missing. Sharp, witty, and a visual feast. Pure cinematic joy. Fixing my mistake and diving into his novels today. 📚🥂

unlabelledView post →Last night we watched #ThePigeonTunnel, #ErrolMorris’s amazing documentary of #JohnLeCarre’s life and work. Reading #KemiAshingGiwa’s #TheSplinterInTheSky today made me realize the protagonist is an unwitting double agent, of sorts, and I hope it develops with the same complexity as Le Carre’s work.
unlabelledView post →Last week at the Siskel Film Center, saw "The Pigeon Tunnel" and they gave everyone the book. Very interesting & unusual "interview / interrogation," interspersed with well-researched documents, film clips & tasteful re-enactments, not your typical "documentary." Some reviewers
unlabelledView post →Getting inside the head of a spy is undoubtedly challenging; getting inside the head of a novelist who was once a spy who now writes about that enigmatic profession is nearly impossible. And that’s one of the hurdles that hampers this profile of former MI5 and MI6 operative David Cornwell, better known to the world by his pen name, John le Carré (1931-2020). Based on the author’s memoir of the same name, the latest from documentarian Errol Morris puts the best-selling espionage novelist under…
neutral · AI labelView post →Watched The Pigeon Tunnel, the John LeCarré documentary on Apple. Curious film - in which, like, much of his fiction, I don't think much more than half of the narrative really made sense but I still thoroughly enjoyed being told the story.

unlabelledView post →Did you know that "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold" by a certain David Cromwell (aka John Le Carré) sold between 12-15 million physical copies? That's before Richard Burton took on the mantle of "Lemeas" from that novel and long before Sir Alec Guinness took on the part of the forensic super-spy "George Smiley" in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" and that gives us quite an indication as the phenomenal success of this writer who basically bares his soul here in a one-to-one with Errol Morris.…

unlabelledView post →The Pigeon Tunnel was interesting & glad I saw it, but I think it lacked the deft touch of You Can Call Me Bill. I found this director's voice to be too intrusive to the film for my taste. On the other hand it wasn't enough for an interview style documentary.
unlabelledView post →Review: Near the beginning of Errol Morris’s new documentary, The Pigeon Tunnel, author David Cornwell — more widely known by his pen name, John le Carré — explains the title. It comes from his 2016 memoir on which the film is based: hyperallergic.com/848031/errol...
