How to Kill a Cloud

About This Movie

How to Kill a Cloud dives into the complex world of atmospheric science through the journey of Hannele Korhonen. It’s a documentary that feels more like a personal odyssey than a dry scientific exposition. There’s this tension as she grapples with the weight of her ambitions and the ethical implications of her work, which adds depth to her character. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to absorb the intricacies of her research, while the visuals of clouds and weather phenomena are striking—almost poetic. The film’s distinctive approach lies in its intimate portrayal of a scientist striving for independence, blending personal sacrifice with a broader commentary on climate science and responsibility.
