LAB MAN is a fascinating glimpse into the often overlooked world of film processing. It centers on Arturo Arnold, who’s not just any technician; he’s an artist with emulsion. The documentary has this warm, nostalgic vibe, capturing the tactile nature of working with 8mm and 16mm film. It moves at a relaxed pace, letting you soak in the details of the lab environment. There's something mesmerizing about watching him work, the way he handles each reel with care, almost reverently. The film doesn’t just show the technical side of things; it dives into themes of preservation and the love for analog formats in a digital age. It has that raw, authentic feel that collectors appreciate.
