A Simple Case for Torture, or How to Sleep at Night is a fascinating deep dive into the moral quagmires surrounding torture, all through the lens of artist Martha Rosler. The tone is unsettling yet thought-provoking, as Rosler meticulously unpacks an argument that surfaced in Newsweek's editorial pages. The pacing feels deliberate; it invites contemplation, forcing viewers to grapple with weighty themes of ethics and complicity. There's no flashy production—just stark realism, which complements Rosler's ideas. The film stands out for its raw exploration of totalitarianism and the uncomfortable justifications some might entertain. It's a stark reminder of the darker aspects of human nature, presented with a kind of quiet urgency that lingers long after viewing.
