FIPRESCI AWARD WINNER *THE LOOK OF SILENCE:* OPPENHEIMERS WORK ON FRACTURED HISTORY BY PRADIP BISWAS, THE INDIAN EXPRESS NEWSPAPERS, INDIA JURY MEMBER INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AND FRIBOURG INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL, SWISS CURATOR: ROTTERDAM, FRIBOURG, PUSAN, MOSCOW, VARNA, IFFI, IFFK ETC > Joshua Oppenheimers stunning follow-up to The Act of Killing shifts focus to the victims of Indonesias communist purge*. **Joshua Oppenheimer < The Act of Killing >, a blistering 2012 documentary about the Indonesian communist purge of the 1960s, that following it up so shortly with a second film on the subject might seem complacent on paper. It is followed by The Look of Silence, a cruel depiction through visual footage and tales of communist massacres by the military authority of Indonesia. This is not all, the film in a rapt documentary anger reveals what exactly happened in the 60s ruthlessly. This disgusting and whips up hatred for the Indonesian rulers who became monsters to practice cannibalism. Oppenheimer with a vision makes it his target point to expose the killers who brought about mayhem of one million communists. This is so rare in the Asian history..* *There are as few safe moves as there are distorted notes. However, in The Look of Silence a fiercely stunning companion piece that shifts its emphasis from the perpetrators of THE ACT OF KILLING.
