The Pigeon Tunnel Cinematographer on Errol Morris’ New Documentary About John le Carré

Errol Morris is one of the greatest living documentarians, having created some of the best films of the past 45 years. Over the past three decades, most of his films have focused on singular individuals — Stephen Hawking, Robert McNamara, Donald Rumsfeld, Joyce McKinney, Steve Bannon. He continues that trend with The Pigeon Tunnel, though in several ways, it feels like a kind of autobiography, despite his subject being the legendary spy writer, John le Carré (The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Tailor of Panama, The Constant Gardener).
