Carlsen picks Icarus for our theme of films that swap genres. True to the theme, it starts as a Supersize Me-style documentary before turning into a much scarier and more timely documentary. Spoiler warning, we get a little political because Vladimir Putin uses the Olympic wins to bolster Russian patriotism to invide the Ukraine... just like what is happening now.
