THE ACT OF KILLING

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2375605/



Not only one of the sickest movies I ever watched, but one of the most bizarre experiences of watching a movie ... during the whole playtime you are in a position where you don`t know whether to laugh or to be in a state of shock. Is the absurd nature of the film relativising everything or are we simply insensitive since we consume violence on a daily basis? Reality and play in a constant rotation ... Directed by Joshua Oppenheimer, produced by Werner Herzog. Highly recommended!

This is one of the BEST documentaries ever.
One of the very few that gets far beyond the hype. And has a weird sense of entertainment that still chill my spine.
Everybody should watch this.

The ACT OF KILLING is a piece of work. Second TT recommendations. Mandatory watch. The level of reenactment (and enjoyment from involved parties) is at horrifying levels. Purely sickiening.

From here, let's go into another alleyway. Namely - Arakimentari. I guess many of you have already seen this film about the Japanese photographer Araki - born to fame for his mixture of art, history and pornography. A recommended and fun watch.

Get I feeling some you will want to see Rubble Kings http://www.docnyc.net/film/rubble-kings/#.VGTPkr52JZJ

NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE Confronting a bankrupt, decaying city and the dashed hopes of the civil rights generation, African-American and Latino teenagers violently took over the streets of 1970s New York. The South Bronx became a war zone ruled by gangs like the Savage Skulls and the Ghetto Brothers. Hypnotic archival footage and present-day interviews with former gang members reveal how peace was brokered at the peak of the bloodshed in a most unlikely manner, laying the foundation for what ultimately became hip-hop culture.

Excellent

[Coma Detox]

Death Press IV.  More Japanese mondo madness.  Not as good as the Death File series but it has it's moments.  Plenty of aftermath death's from auto accidents, murder, crashes etc.  Got this one for cheap awhile ago and just got around to watching it.



There's Something Wrong With Aunt Diane.  Pretty decent documentary about the case of Diane Schuler driving the wrong way on the Taconic State Parkway killing a bunch of people including herself. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2011325/

VERY interesting case, discovered by chance reading about the limits between politics and serial murder.
I have a really nice book on the subject with plenty of pictures.

THE DECENT ONE (Der Anständige)

Heinrich Himmler has gone down in history as one of the most evil minds to have ever lived due to his role as the key architect of the 'Final Solution'.
Until now, little has been known about his personal life but using recently discovered letters between Himmler and his wife, this startling documentary peels back a layer of mystery from the infamous figure.

Vanessa Lapa reveals the stark contrast between the truth and its intentional shrouding by providing narration of Himmler's correspondence overlaid upon footage of the grim reality.
