Portrait #2: Trojan

About This Movie

So, Portrait #2: Trojan is a fascinating dive into this nuclear power plant, right? It’s got this eerie atmosphere, particularly with that massive cooling tower just looming over the Columbia River. Really gives you a sense of scale and isolation. The pacing feels almost meditative but carries a weighty tension, as it explores the economic and environmental implications of the plant. The film doesn’t shy away from the darker aspects of energy production, which makes it feel raw and unfiltered. What stands out, I think, is how it captures the local sentiment—people's hopes and fears wrapped around this behemoth. No flashy effects—just real stories and the stark realities of living with something so powerful and controversial nearby.
