It’s not just a documentary; it's a reconstruction of Fuller's gritty, raw style. You really get a sense of the atmosphere Fuller created, that mix of tension and dark humor. The pacing feels quite organic, almost like you're walking through his thoughts. It’s interesting how they weave in interviews and archival footage, bringing you back to the era.
