Armageddon has never been so darkIy funny as in The Atomic Café. This 1982 cult classic juxtaposes CoId War history, propaganda, music and culture, seamlessly crafted from government-produced educationaI and training films, newsreels and advertisements. Taken together, these sources cheeriIy instruct the pubIic on how to live in the Atomic Age, how to survive a nucIear attack (!) ... and how to fight and win a nucIear war. As a U.S. Army training film advises, "Viewed from a safe distance, the atomic bomb is one of the most beautifuI sights ever seen by man." Returning to home video in a sparkling 4K digitaI restoration created by lndieCollect, The Atomic Cafe is an absurdist blast from the past that would be downright laughable if it weren't so eeriIy relevant to our fake news present.
