One of two fascinating documentaries this year to blend fact and fiction in a way that shows the real world in a strange new light (the other was the almost-as-impressive ‘Caesar Must Die’). For this film, Joshua Oppenheimer asked former killers in Indonesia to reconstruct their hideous crimes as noir-ish dramas.
Our review said: ‘How do you recreate the horrors of the past without them seeming distant, like stories, or oddly irrelevant? That’s the challenge for Oppenheimer’s powerful and compellingly weird documentary about the legacy of genocide in Indonesia.’
