Product description:

One of the defining documentaries of the 20th Century, THE ATOMIC CAFÉ (1982) offers a darkly humorous glimpse into mid-century America, an era rife with paranoia anxiety, and misapprenhension. Whimsical and yet razorsharp, this timeless classic illuminates the ofter cominc paradozes of life in the “Atomic Afe,” while also exhibiting a genuine nostalgia for an earlier and more innocent nation.

Narrated through an astonishing array of cintage clips and music – from military training films to campy advertisements, presidential speeches to pop songs – the film revolves around the threat – and thrill – of the newly minted atomic bomb. Taking aim at the propaganda and false optimism of the 1950s, the film’s satire shines most vividly in clever image splicing, such as, footage of a decimated Hiroshima alongside cheerful suburban “duck-and-cover” routines. More than anything else, THE ATOMIC CAFÉ shows how nuclear warfare infiltrated the living rooms of America, changing the nation from the inside out.
