Tentpole Trauma is celebrating the Wachowskis all month long, starting with perhaps their most audacious film, 2012\\u2019s Cloud Atlas. Adapting David Mitchell\\u2019s time hopping novel was never going to be an easy sell, but with the help of co-director Tom Tykwer and superstars Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in multiple roles, the Wachowskis felt up to the task. But the film was plagued by bad press due to some controversial race swapping choices and while the finished product was suitably epic, it failed to impress either audiences or critics. Join Sebastian, Troy and Rodney as they traverse time, space and multiple lives to determine if this sprawling effort is a misunderstood masterpiece or a massive misfire.
