All prosaic enough, except for the voice: the narrator is a man whose moral compass wavers and misleads at every turn, in Whishaw’s lulling, evenly cadenced, precisely enunciated voice.

Ungentle

A narrator describes his homosexuality and how he became a double agent for the Soviets around the second world war, while the visuals watch people in the various locations discussed. Short and interesting film.

Ben Whishaw guides us through a rich, beautifully filmed tour of two covert and overlapping worlds of Britain’s recent past

Based on extensive historical research, the film is narrated by an imagined, enigmatic auteur whose fraught position as both a spy and gay man in the mid–20th century is troubled by sex, secrecy, politics and imperialism. The film edges at a fluidity and an atmosphere of unknowability, where the protagonist directs the scenes of the film from outside of the camera lens.
