The Act of Killing

It stands as one of the most groundbreaking and chilling documentary feats in cinema history. By having unrepentant perpetrators of Indonesia's 1965–66 mass killings stage lavish reenactments of their crimes in the cinematic genres of their choice, director Joshua Oppenheimer creates a profoundly unsettling examination of historical impunity, memory, and guilt.
