description The Act of Killing (2012) Overview
Joshua Oppenheimers surreal and disturbing documentary explores the 1965-66 Indonesian mass killings by challenging the perpetrators to reenact their crimes in the style of their favorite film genres. The result is a chilling look at how history is written by the victors and how perpetrators justify their actions. It is a unique, experimental film that delves into the psychology of mass murder and the culture of impunity. It is not a traditional war documentary, but it provides a profound insight into the aftermath of state-sponsored violence and the nature of evil.
