ADDITIONAL
INFO: In this
chilling and inventive documentary, executive produced by Errol Morris (The Fog
Of War) and Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), the filmmakers examine a country where
death squad leaders are celebrated as heroes, challenging them to reenact their
real-life mass-killings in the style of the American movies they love. The
hallucinatory result is a cinematic fever dream, an unsettling journey deep
into the imaginations of mass-murderers and the shockingly banal regime of
corruption and impunity they inhabit. Shaking audiences at the 2012 Toronto and
Telluride Film Festivals and winning an Audience Award at the 2013 Berlin
International Film Festival, The Act of Killing is an unprecedented film that,
according to The Los Angeles Times, “could well change how you view the
documentary form.” Directed by Joshua
Oppenheimer | English subtitles | 2 hrs 2 mins | rated NR
