The Bit Player (2020)

A "documentary" about Claude Shannon. I put it in quotes because much of the content is a dramatized interview between an actress playing an interviewer and an actor playing Claude Shannon. Which is so cringe that I actually wonder if the OTHER people that are "talking heads" (including Shannon's first wife) are real or what.
Anyway, I haven't finished this one---it's pretty mediocre. A shame, as Shannon is an interesting person (I read and enjoyed "A Mind at Play" which is a book about him).
