Searching for Sugar Man is still in the cinema here... Have been thinking about going, but after reading this thread will definitely have to make it a point. I can't get enough of great documentaries. Maybe because life is indeed much more interesting than fiction, if you're paying attention!

The Act of Killing blew me away. I went knowing only the most basic outlines of its premises but was captivated from the first moment.
It is a terrifying lesson of a nation's (and likely our) complicity in blurring the lines of a collective historicity and begs us to reconsider our notions of a relative or an universal morality.
See it. Please. Brilliant.

There's no graphic depictions and in fact I found the movie rather hypnotic and oddly soothing as it mostly consisted of slow moving shots of wide open country overlayed with the audio from interviews of friends/participants of the man who died recounting the story. I thought this juxtaposition was rather artful and allowed the story to be told without judgement.
