NYFF Review: Redacted

Told entirely through "found" footage, Brian De Palma's incendiary polemic reconstructs the rape and murder of a 15-year-old Iraqi girl by American soldiers in Samarra in 2006. Redacted feels like a well-aimed punch to the gut -- or perhaps a stab in the heart. Whether blunt or sharp, the film's impact is impossible to dismiss. Read Jürgen's review.

Redacted is screening at the 45th New York Film Festival on October 10 and 11. The film is scheduled to open on November 16.
