Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The documentary's title comes from a Mitchell quote about the film's interconnected structure being 'an ocean' of stories.
Released 13 years after the original's box office failure, this doc arrives as Cloud Atlas has become a cult object for 'they don't make 'em like this anymore' discourse.
