Man – Damien Chazelle
Damien Chazelle’s film First Man with Ryan Gosling,
Jason Clarke, Claire Foy, Kyle Chandler, Corey Stoll, Ciaran Hinds, Christopher
Abbott, Patrick Fugit, Lukas Haas is the riveting story of NASA’s mission to land a man on the
moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and
the years 1961-1969. A visceral, first-person account, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the movie explores the
sacrifices and the cost – on Armstrong and on the nation – of one of the most
dangerous missions in history.

“I wanted to
understand what compelled these men to voyage into deep space, and what the
experience – moment by moment, breath by breath – might have felt like.”
Damien Chazelle
