"I have not seen a film as powerful, surreal, and frightening in at least a decade... it is unprecedented in the history of cinema." Werner Herzog
Small-time gangsters turned killing-squad leaders during the Indonesian anticommunist purge in 1965 are reliving their glory days on the big screen. Their idea of being in a movie is not to provide testimony for a documentary: they want to star in the kind of films they most love.

They develop fiction scenes re-enacting the killings, adapted to their favourite film genres' gangster; western; musical. The resulting 'documentary of imagination' takes us into the surreal world of the killers' minds, and into a culture that turns mass murderers into popular heroes, talk-show guests and minor celebrities.

This politically subversive, emotionally poignant documentary, executive produced by Werner Herzog and Errol Morris, challenges the parameters of documentary film-making and is a piece of work that will stay with you long after the lights go down.

PLEASE NOTE THE EARLIER START TIME FOR THE FILM OF 7.30pm. DOORS WILL OPEN AROUND 7, we don't show ads or trailers.
