Directors: Deborah Hoffman, Frances Reid
Run Time: 94 min.
"Surprisingly, in almost every case the murderers don't look as
penitent as one might expect. They are not sobbing or begging for
forgiveness. All of them (except for the young rioters who killed Biehl)
look twisted in some way, intent on justifying themselves, and as
though they're merely going through the motions of apologizing. This
hardly takes away from the film. It adds a layer of complexity. One
wonders: Are these people killers because they were weird to begin with
-- or is their odd detachment the result of having to live with
their crimes?"

The Flat (2013)
Run Time: 98 min.
"In his autobiographical documentary The Flat, filmmaker Arnon
Goldfinger travels to Tel Aviv to clean out the apartment of his
recently-deceased German-born Jewish grandmother. Goldfinger begins an
unsettling journey into his family's history and discovers that knowing
the truth can be a terrible burden. Both arresting and heartbreaking,
The Flat is a real-life suspense story about how the past can return to
haunt the present."
—The Flat film jacket
