[cinema] The Act of Killing.

Filipino cinema or Indonesian????

 

Indonesia. Documentary on 60's death squads. They recreate some of their experiences in the vain of their favorite Hollywood films.

Was reviewed a few months back when it premiered at the Berlin Film Festival.

History is written by the victors. The Trail of Tears was as bad as the holocaust, but nobody thinks of it on those terms.

 

Title sounds like a Nicolas Winding Refn/Ryan Gosling flick.
