The Act of Killing

Something unusual is happening in Indonesia. Anwar Congo, who led the genocide against communists in the 60s, is taking part in a cinematic recreation of his crimes, complete with lavish costumes, sets and make-up — a surreal and demented staging of a nation’s casual violence and corruption that “could well change how you view the documentary form.” (Los Angeles Times) Produced by Errol Morris and Werner Herzog.
