Flying Machine

About This Movie

Flying Machine is a fascinating documentary that dives into Rolf's journey post-accident. The tone is quite reflective, almost meditative, as it explores themes of identity and rebirth. You really feel the weight of his amnesia and the slow, sometimes painful process of rediscovery. The pacing feels organic; it’s not rushed, allowing space for Rolf's thoughts and creations to breathe. The practical effects of his flying machine are a standout, almost childlike in their whimsy. And the raw honesty in Rolf's performance is something that sticks with you. It’s not your typical documentary, it has a heart and a sense of wonder about the human spirit’s resilience.
