Director: Nick Murphy
Year: 2022
An adaptation of Ben Macintyre’s best-selling book exploring the impact of a notorious betrayal of the British establishment. It focuses specifically on what happened during the final meeting between Philby and his close friend and fellow MI6 agent Nicholas Elliott (Damian Lewis), in the days leading up to Philby’s defection. Was Elliott merely trying to extract a confession or was there something more shadowy at play? Outstanding performances from Lewis, Pearce and Anna Maxwell Martin bring to life the layered and deeply intelligent script by showrunner Alexander Carey (who previously worked with Lewis on HOMELAND). Part gripping spy thriller in the Le Carré mould, part incisive dissection of the British class and power structures still in place today, A SPY AMONG FRIENDS is, above all, a moving portrait of friendship and betrayal. <br /> (London Film Festival)
