For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is The Look of Silence (2015), the sequel to the highly-acclaimed Indonesian death-squad documentary The Act of Killing (2012), and directed again by Joshua Oppenheimer. Unlike its predecessor, which follows the death-squad members, this one focuses on their victims, bringing their family members into contact with the people who killed their friends, children, and relatives. Drama ensues. Highly-acclaimed, just like the previous film, so let’s give it a whirl.
After that is Coffee & Cigarettes (2003), an eleven-part anthology from Jim Jarmusch featuring various humorous vignettes involving people talking while smoking and drinking coffee. Among the featured actors are Bill Murray, Steve Buscemi, Cate Blanchett, Roberto Benigni, the White Stripes, the Wu-Tang Clan, Tom Waits, and Iggy Pop. Yep, it’s a Jarmusch movie. We’re going back in.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:

Someone ping me when Coffee comes on. Look of Silence was just screened recently and I can't do it again.
That was Act of Killing (2012), not Look of Silence.
