The Act of Killing Original Full-Length Edition

[Machine Translation] 86th Academy Awards Nominee for Best Documentary Feature! Winner of over 60 film awards worldwide, this is the No. 1 shocking film of 2014! The film is now available in its full-length version, including an additional 45 minutes that were not included in the theatrical release! --A massacre of one million people secretly took place in Indonesia in the 1960s. The perpetrators of the massacre were not the military, but private gangsters and militiamen called "pre-men" who, surprisingly, are still living happily as "national heroes". Filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer was interviewing victims of the massacre at the request of a human rights organization, but when the authorities forbade him from contacting the victims, he changed his focus to the perpetrators. When they gleefully reenacted the acts of the past, he asked them, "Well, why don't you act out the acts yourselves in front of the camera? The men acted as if they were movie stars, acting out the details of the murders with their body language and hand gestures. However, their re-enactment brings about a change in them... The bonus disc includes a press conference with Joshua Oppenheimer at the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, two previously unreleased scenes, an interview with the director, "Act of Killing" with Herzog and Errol Morris, and trailers (international and Japanese versions).
