Matt Roush says...

“I see my own life as a succession of embraces and escapes,” says a cagey John Le Carré, the internationally acclaimed spy novelist (1931-2020), in what’s billed as his final interview—seen in an absorbing documentary profile from Oscar-winning filmmaker Errol Morris (The Fog of War). As Morris interrogates the former British Intelligence agent (real name David Cornwell) about his life and career, with dramatized scenes from his novels and life, we sense that Cornwell’s own story is at least as fascinating if not more so than Le Carré’s fictions.
