Skylab

About This Movie

So, 'Skylab' is this quirky little piece set in 1979, and it really captures that mix of family chaos and impending doom, you know? The whole premise revolves around this family gathering in Brittany for a birthday bash, but with the Skylab space station rumored to come crashing down, the tension is oddly light-hearted. It’s filled with moments of humor and warmth, with the kids, especially Albertine, stealing the show. The pacing feels very natural, like you're just part of this family weekend, which I find charming. The practical effects aren’t really a focus, but the way they handle the backdrop of the space station adds a nice touch of absurdity. Overall, it’s a delightful, offbeat exploration of familial bonds amidst uncertainty.
