Synopsis

David Cornwell, aka spy novelist John le Carré, opens up to Oscar-winning documentarian Errol Morris in what was to be the author’s final and most personal interview. Spanning six decades, from a stormy Cold War backdrop extending into the present day, the film is punctuated with rare archival footage and dramatic anecdotes, including reflections on the influences Cornwell/ le Carré took from his father’s life as a con man.

American Dharma American Dharma

Director: Errol Morris

Year: 2018

From groundbreaking documentarian Errol Morris comes a probing portrait of controversial Breitbart honcho and Trump advisor, Stephen K. Bannon. If Stephen K. Bannon were a fictional character, you'd have a hard time believing his narrative arc. He did stints as an investment banker and movie producer before steering the far-right media site Breitbart News as it swiftly moved from the fringe to the centre of American politics. As the chief executive of Donald Trump's campaign, he helped the candidate navigate several controversies that would have ended the career of any previous politician. He had a brief run in the White House as Trump's chief strategist. After being ousted, he continues to exert a powerful influence on right-wing ideologues in the US and abroad.
