Review of The Look of Silence (2014) by Lonnie C — 21 Aug 2015
The victims provide the narrative arc in this film, a contrast with the Act of Killing's focus on perpetrators. Notable in this film is the artistic videography. the images are powerful and masterful.
the symbolism of butterflies in cocoon for the unreleased memory of the perished is gently handled. And the way the old man's experience paralleled the narrative Adi's interviews was telling was the work of a master storyteller.
a sometimes silent meditation of violators refusing to see the moral dimensions of their murdering - and an optometrist seeking their confession.
