Apollo 11 (2019) ****

This magnificent documentary about the first moon landing is presented in a style I’ve never seen before. Using only original footage and a few very simple illustrations, this film follows the journey of famous astronauts Armstong, Collins and Aldrin to the moon and back. The footage is expertly combined and edited, using original audio. Gorgeous and artistic cinematography – a lot of it done by the astronauts themselves – and lovingly-done colour enhancement make this a visual feast of a special calibre. The nail-biting atmosphere of this world-changing event is underscored by some beautiful music from Matt Morton. A masterpiece. 4/5
