I enjoyed "The Painter and the Thief" https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_painter_and_the_thief
It's very well done and engaging. The filming is wonderful, and it almost seems like a fiction film. The story is also unusual.
and the movie "The Russian Woodpecker" https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_russian_woodpecker
The approach to the subject matter is very creative.
After seeing both movies several years ago both have stayed with me and I think about each often.
For a longer and more detailed treatment of the Duga antenna and its connection to Cherbobyl, I can recommend the documentary "The Russian Woodpecker":
