An overview of the history of the nuclear power industry throughout Germany and Austria.

New York Times

Somehow the happy screams of children whirling above a neutered reactor sound a lot less comforting than they should.

Time Out

Sattel constructs a tone poem via impeccably composed pictures that toe the line between beauty and banality, revelation and tedium.

Rated: 4/5

There are images here that seem culled from some obsolete collective nervousness.

This documentary about nuclear power plants is as chilling as its title is ironic.

This subject is very ironical.Fukushima tells us that nuclear power plants are not under control in Japan. The operation of nuclear power plants and the disposal of radioactive waste pertain to them is difficult, thus to abandon them is inconceivably costly. For or against nuclear power stations? it doesn't matter, this film is worth to see.
