How ‘Apollo 11’ gives the moon landing new life

The New York Times:

The director Todd Douglas Miller assembles beautifully restored archival footage, blends that with audio from the astronauts and a vibrant score to create a fresh look at a moment that has been woven into American consciousness.

In this scene, Miller discusses his use of split screen to depict the point when the Eagle lunar module separates from the Columbia spacecraft and prepares to land on the moon.

I can’t wait to see this movie.
