There’s an interesting segment on the French-language version that really speaks to how the film's atmosphere is perceived differently across cultures. The documentary takes its time, kind of meandering through various historical contexts, which adds to the overall vibe. Although it was made before the English-language version surfaced, the exploration of the digital restoration process is fascinating for anyone who appreciates film preservation.
