Angels & Atom Bombs

About This Movie

Angels & Atom Bombs is a fascinating dive into the creation of The Reflecting Skin, a film that's as eerie as it is beautiful. The documentary's tone feels reflective yet haunting, much like the film it explores. There's this slow burn to the pacing, allowing you to really soak in the thoughts and struggles of the cast and crew. The themes of childhood innocence lost and the weight of rural isolation hit hard, especially with those surreal practical effects that linger in your mind. The interviews reveal a lot about the creative vision behind the scenes, and you get a real sense of the atmosphere they were trying to capture. It's a bit rough around the edges, but that's part of its charm. Just a great peek behind the curtain, really.
