Human Remains

About This Movie

Human Remains is a stark, unsettling piece that feels more like a meditation on the nature of evil rather than a traditional documentary. Jay Rosenblatt weaves together archival footage and voiceovers that give a chilling glimpse into the private lives of five notorious dictators. It’s not just about their politics but their personal quirks and daily lives, which feels eerily mundane. The pacing is slow, allowing you to sit with the discomfort of their actions juxtaposed against their ordinary routines. The film's tone is unsettling yet strangely intimate, which makes it distinct in the documentary realm. It’s a film that sticks with you, not for entertainment but for a deeper reflection on humanity's darker aspects.
