Reviews
This is a movie rich with information, even for someone like me who is quite familiar with the information out there about the characters in the story. It's also speculative -- what if the real story had continued and deaths faked, time spent on the moon, etc..This fits the playful theme that unsticks us from the linear, the seamless, and lets wonder seep through the seems.
This is stitched of a patchwork of amazing clips that are dubbed over, as characters are loosely interpreted by a number of actors in different movies collaged together to create a poetic, absurdist delight.
I'm very glad this movie exists, informative, leading people, I hope, to learn more about the truth, and a good place to go for that is books by Peter Moon's press, Sky Books.
