Starman

About This Movie

Starman is an intriguing documentary that captures Luca Parmitano's remarkable experience as the first Italian astronaut to conduct an extravehicular activity. The film has this raw, almost intimate atmosphere, where you really feel the weightlessness not just of space, but of his emotions. Cerasola manages to balance the technical aspects of space travel with the personal journey of Parmitano, making it more relatable. The pacing flows well, drawing you in with stunning visuals of the Earth from the ISS, interspersed with moments of vulnerability and triumph. It's the practical effects and real footage that ground the surreal nature of being in space. There’s a quiet thrill in watching someone live out these adventures, reminding us of our place in the universe.
