(Denmark/Norway/UK 2012, 116 min.) 14A In Indonesian with English subtitles

In this chilling and inventive documentary executive produced by Errol Morris and Werner Herzog, The Act Of Killing filmmakers challenge unrepentant death squad leaders 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 glimpse 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 International Film Festivals, The Act Of Killing is an unprecedented film and according to CNN, "could well change how you view the documentary form."
