| Movie Haiku: | Heavy-hype for this doc (made by Oppenheimer under the wings of "producers" Errol Morris and Werner Herzog) leaves us both mystified. With minimal background, TAOK attempts to take us into the minds of men who served as exterminators for the Indonesian right wing coup way back in 1965, but what we actually see is old men playing dress up. Watch THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY instead. | ADDITIONAL FF2 INFO ABOUT THIS FILM: | Women filmmakers? | No | Jewish content? | No | Haiku Posted: | 2013 | |
