Review: The Secret Garden - Spy Culture
I recently had the pleasure of previewing The Secret Garden - an independently made spy thriller. The film is inspired by the short story The Garden of Forking Paths by Jorge Luis Borges, but transplants the themes and existential quandaries of that story into a CIA Cold War setting. While some recent films contain sequences where the characters dwell on the moral and psychological torment of espionage, in The Secret Garden this is as much a part of the story as nuclear terrorism.
