Trick or Truth

About This Movie

So, Trick or Truth is an interesting documentary that dives into the artistic vision of Nobuhiko Obayashi, who wanted to explore the atomic bomb through a fantasy lens. It’s not your typical doc; the tone is quite reflective, almost surreal at times, which makes it stand out. The pacing can feel a bit erratic, but it oddly mirrors the chaotic nature of the subject matter. You’ll notice some practical effects that give it a unique texture—something you don’t see often in documentaries. The way Obayashi blends personal narrative with broader themes of trauma and creativity really pulls you in. It’s not just about the bomb, it’s about how we cope with it all, ya know?
