Doc Lounge: The Act of Killing
Mejeriet, Lund
Cult filmmaker Werner Horzog doesn’t pull the punches in this chilling documentary that examines the notorious Indonesian death squads of 1965-1966. Two of the leading gang members are invited by the filmmakers to re-enact their killings, creating dramatic and shocking scenes. Anwar and his friends’ filmmaking process are shown, but as they begin to dramatize Anwar’s own nightmares, the fiction scenes begin to take over the film’s form, leading the film to become increasingly surreal and nightmarish. The film’s director Oppenheimer has called the result “a documentary of the imagination.” Come with a pint of Dutch courage with you because this film is going to shake you to the core. Watch the trailer here, if you dare.
