When Joshua Oppenheimer released his 2012 documentary The Act Of Killing into the world, the hard-hitting film was met with powerful reactions. For the filmmaker, giving space to Indonesian death-squad leaders to re-enact their mass-killings in whichever dramatic fashion they chose was unexpected and essentially unplanned. Initially intended as a film focused on survivors, Oppenheimer discovered that this approach actually endangered them still, and so centred the effort on the perpetrators instead. In this way, his latest film – The Look Of Silence – is a closely related companion piece. It centres around a family that survived the Indonesian genocide, and finds themselves confronting those that murdered their loved one.
