The Act Of Killing - Review, Robert Cribb

Robert Cribb

Critically reviews Joshua Oppenheimer's celebrated film The Act of Killing. Suggests that the film appears to have been staged in sigificant places and that it gives a misleading impression of the character of the 1965-66 killings, especially by downplaying the role of the military in order to emphasise the psychopathic character of Anwar Congo and his friends.
