About This Movie

TOTALITY (2017) is quite the curious short documentary. It captures the spectacular total solar eclipse from August 21, 2017, through the lens of Rainbow Astro. The footage is a blend of stills and dynamic shots, all of which create a hypnotic atmosphere that pulls you into the experience. The pacing feels meditative, almost reverential, as you watch the celestial dance unfold. It’s not just about the eclipse, though—there’s a mood of wonder and discovery that permeates the visuals. It’s a unique take on a natural phenomenon, where the visuals almost become another character, guiding you through this cosmic event. There’s something beautifully raw about it too, really invoking the sense of shared experience.

Cinematography heavily relies on practical effects and natural light.The film allows viewers to experience the eclipse in a communal way.A notable work from a lesser-known director, offering a fresh perspective.
