The Trials of J. Robert Oppenheimer

Just watched Storyville: The Trials of Oppenheimer, I had recorded it on BBC 4, still on iplayer. Gives more detail to some of the events in Oppenheimer and puts them in chronological order.

Amazing how closely Christopher Nolan followed the real story but it's often necessary in biographical films to compress/telescope time periods and change the chronological order to create a smoother narrative. A documentary well worth watching if you can track it down.

The interrogation at the security hearings do come across as being more secere than in Nolan's film. Teller's duplicity but also his reasons for turning against Oppenheimer are made clearer. 8/10.
