In 'Essential Killing' (2010) actor Vincent Gallo plays Mohammed, a
Taliban from Afghanistan on the run from American soldiers through the
mountains of Poland after slaughtering three American soldiers to bits.
While I would not say this film is bad nor good, I would definitely say

forgotten. Who would of thought Gall...

At a film festival such as IDFA that is exclusively devoted to documentary film, a dedicated viewer (which, at a minimum of 4 films per day, qualifies me) cannot help but be constantly batted from feelings of outrage and anger to feelings of optimism and hope. Documentaries, unlike any other art form, really get under your skin with real lives, some of them quite desperate and terribly sad, that break down the tenuous barrier of us versus them. To really appreciate a documentary, it is important...
