🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative by relying on a vast archive of personal and professional footage, which becomes the central character. It explores the fine line between professional duty, the fever of fame, and the corrosive power of the media race.

What lingers after viewing is the sensation of a dizzying ascent and a devastating fall, a poignant reminder of the human cost behind the spectacle. — MovieFinder Editorial
