Overview

A French documentary or, one might say more accurately, a mockumentary, by director William Karel which originally aired on Arte in 2002 with the title Opération Lune. The basic premise for the film is the theory that the television footage from the Apollo 11 Moon landing was faked and actually recorded in a studio by the CIA with help from director Stanley Kubrick.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sly French mockumentary that weaponizes faux-documentary gravitas to spin an increasingly outlandish conspiracy theory about the Apollo 11 moon landing being faked by the CIA with Kubrick's help. It's equal parts sharp media satire and affectionate absurdism.
