Review

This notorious collage-style portrait of the Atomic Age was hilarious and disturbing when it was released in 1982, and is even stranger now that the Cold War is a distant memory.

In Context

The Atomic Cafe is playing as part of IFC Center’s retrospective celebrating distribution label Docurama Films, which unearths and releases classic documentaries from the past 50 years.
