The Look of Silence

The Look of Silence is Joshua Oppenheimer’s powerful companion piece to the Oscar-nominated The Act of Killing (2012). Through the filmmaker’s footage of perpetrators of the 1965 Indonesian genocide, a family of survivors discovers how their son was murdered as well as the identities of the killers. The documentary focuses on the youngest son, an optometrist named Adi, who decides to break the spell of submission and terror by doing something unimaginable in a society where the murderers remain in power: he confronts the men who killed his brother and, while testing their eyesight, asks them to accept responsibility for their actions. Winner of the SXSW Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival. 2015, Denmark/Indonesia/Finland/Norway/UK/Israel/France/US/Germany/Netherlands, in Indonesian with English subtitles, 103 minutes.
