The Enigma of Frank Ryan is quite a compelling dive into a figure who defies easy categorization. Ryan's journey as an Irish radical who fought in Spain and later found himself aligning with the Nazis in Berlin paints a complex picture of ideology and betrayal. The documentary's pacing is methodical, allowing for a deep exploration of the conflicting themes of loyalty and radicalism. It captures an atmosphere of intrigue, with archival footage and interviews that lend a raw authenticity to its storytelling. The lack of a known director gives it an almost anonymous feel, emphasizing that the focus is squarely on Ryan himself. It won’t please everyone, but for those interested in the darker shades of political history, it offers a lot to ponder.
