Joshua Oppenheimer’s follow-up to his equally gripping film, The Act of Killing, The Look of Silence is a heavy experience. The film follows a man named Adi, an optician whose brother was murdered by the same men which Killing focused on. Adi’s pain becomes your pain as he watches footage of his fellow Indonesian’s gloat about their past murders during the anti-Communist purges in the ’60s. Watching Adi come face-to-face with the killers in gut-wrenching. Still, although the film is tough to watch at times, Oppenheimer’s work is a necessary viewing experience.
