The Pigeon Tunnel – 4

This nominal documentary is little more than an interview with David Cornwall (a/k/a John Le Carre) replete with reenactments of recollections and occasional film clips. The subject, however, seems to be Cornwall’s con man father and his effect on his son’s view of betrayal. As for Le Carre’s writing or his books, there’s barely a peep. Errol Morris seems to have spun a feature-length film out of a short, non-illuminating interview, with a fancy score by Philip Glass, repeating visuals of the titular tunnel and cock-eyed camera angles. A forgettable 90 minutes.
