For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is The Act of Killing (2012), one of the highest-rated documentaries on Letterboxd; it interviews a number of former members of Indonesian death-squads who participated in the mass killing of communists in the 1970s, aided and abetted by the US government. God Damn the West: The Movie. It is, so far, the best-known and best-regarded film of documentarian Joshua Oppenheimer.
After that is Broken Flowers (2005), a comedy from Jim Jarmusch about an aging philanderer (Bill Murray) who discovers that he has a son who seems to be looking for him. Hilarity ensues, in Jarmusch’s signature quiet style, as the guy tries to cope with unexpected fatherhood.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
