About Once Upon a Time: The Super Heroes
The historical saga of American superheroes. Born in the period between the Great Depression and the World War II to combat the hobgoblins of the modern world, these mutant human beings with superhuman powers colonized the funny papers, radio dramas, television and films, to become a truly national industry in the United States: they gave expression to the fears and obsessions of the twentieth century and bolstered American ideals.
Directed by Michel Viotte, Once Upon a Time: The Super Heroes leans on a strong ensemble — Alex Ross, Bill Sienkiewicz, Carmine Infantino — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2001.
