Sort of interesting - Perfect Days. It's set in Japan with a Japanese cast, subtitled, but directed by a German director Wim Wenders. It's an odd take on the life of a guy who makes his living...

Having read several long, scientific books on this, I do appreciate how this movie gets to the heart of the project. Oppenheimer is such an odd misfit of a character to have changed the world so...
