L'espion tombé du ciel

Total waste of time under a gripping name. The film is pointless consisting of repetitive scenes and having no distinctive narrative. It gives nothing. Why it is done? Looks a lot like the author's egotrip presenting mostly him.

Tells the story of Ashraf Marwan, a spy "unmasked" by British historian Ahron Bregman (or, perhaps, someone that Ahron Bregman feels he has unmasked -- with some help from Eli Zeira, the director of Israeli military intelligence during the Yom Kippur War).

The director, Tom Meadmore, makes a solid effort to tell both sides of the story and remain impartial -- leaving the 'double-agent' vs 'not double-agent' up to the viewer and should be commended for such, given the details of this particular case.

One could potentially argue that there could be some sort of reverse-bias in play, in that one tries to be so impartial that glaring inconsistencies or absurdities are downplayed in order to play up the 'mystery'.

The one "slip" (if you could call it that) would be the rather telling question that Tom Meadmore asks Mr. Bregman toward the very end of the documentary -- but it was something on my mind & probably for many other viewers by that point. I think it needed to be said.

Recommended, enjoyed it throughout.

The basic story is really fascinating, yet, this film is totally unconvincing. I was completely unimpressed with the rationale of Aaron Bergman.

The historian behind this story is either not very clever or a grandiose crook or both. My guess is, I'm sorry to say, he might be both.

To be famous blinded Ahron Bregman who exposed Marwan. It is on him that Ashraf Marwan is dead. I hope he will not have a peaceful day the rest of his life.
