The Infinitesimal: Remembering the Shrinking Man is this fascinating dive into the legacy of Richard Matheson's groundbreaking novel. Griffith really captures the essence of both the book and its film adaptation. The tone feels reflective, almost reverent, as it explores not just the story but the creative process behind it. The pacing is well-structured, mixing interviews, archival footage, and insights from Richard Christian Matheson that add a personal touch. What stands out are the discussions around the practical effects used in the original film—considering the limitations of the time, they achieved quite a bit. It’s a thoughtful celebration of storytelling and the unique themes of transformation and isolation that Matheson wove into his work.
