Radio Bikini

'Radio Bikini', a documentary on the US atom bomb tests in the Marshall Islands, was a disappointing and unsatisfying film. Absent any narrator, you have to search the film itself for cultural and historic context; fine if you have some grounding in the event, but if you're going in blind . . . Only the final scene w/ the American interviewee, when they pull back to reveal him in full, has any emotional impact. C
