Keen as Mustard is a rather unsettling documentary, piecing together a shadowy chapter of Australia's wartime legacy. The film unfolds through the raw, often disquieting testimonies of scientists and military personnel who were part of the Australian Chemical Warfare Unit. It's not just the content that's striking, but the atmosphere it conjures—there’s this eerie sense of complicity and ethical ambiguity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of their experiences to sink in, almost like a slow burn that leaves you reflecting on the true cost of warfare. There's a certain stripped-down honesty to the interviews, making the viewer confront the chilling reality behind chemical warfare, and it’s hard not to be affected by the stark visual storytelling.
