I actually really liked Copenhagen: it is slow moving at first and the conversation seems like it is not important, but it is important and the details add up so that you can try to figure out why the German physicist Werner Heisenberg came to Copenhagen in 1941. The movie is more like a play with only three characters. At the end, I was interested to look up more information about Heisenberg and his Danish mentor Neils Bohr and the wartime atomic weapons program. Riveting. The second disc, Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond, is quite different: racy and fast-paced and very much like the spy thrillers Ian Fleming eventually creates. In one of the episodes, Fleming (in his real-life position as naval intelligence officer) goes looking for documents detailing the Nazi atomic program; perhaps this is the common thread linking the two movies.
