However, much of the film is dedicated to fictional re-enactments of the 1965-66 killings.Oppenheimer's approach is to bring into relief the contours of the extermination of communists in Indonesia by inviting former death-squad leaders and paramilitary gangsters to re-enact the killings in whatever ways they choose. They opt at times for a realist aesthetic and at other times for genres as diverse as Hollywood westerns, film noir gangster movies, and glitzy musicals.The text explores the aesthetic and political consequences springing from this modality of representation while comparing the film to other representative testimonial documentaries of genocides and extermination. 410 0$aCMTS Dialogues Series 606 $aPolitical violence$7Generated by AI 606 $aDocumentary films$7Generated by AI 615 0$aPolitical violence 615 0$aDocumentary films 676 $a959.803 700 $aSweedler$b Milo$01433595 702 $aHogan$b Colman$4oth 702 $aMari?n-Do?mine$b Marta$4oth 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155581403321 996 $aThe Dialectic of Truth and Fiction in Joshua Oppenheimer's The Act of Killing$93582401 997 $aUNINA
