Rediscovery: The Lives of Cordwainer Smith is this fascinating animation documentary that blends history with the surreal. It dives deep into the life of a rather enigmatic figure whose real identity was as layered as his tales. The pacing feels deliberate, almost contemplative, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of his experiences—soldier, diplomat, spy—before stepping into his imaginative worlds. The visual style is intriguing, mixing practical effects with animation to capture the essence of his stories. It’s not just about the author but how his multifaceted life influenced his work. The storytelling feels intimate, as if you’re sharing secrets over coffee, peeling back the layers of a mind that had so much to say.
