The Road to Guantánamo (2006)

By Cynthia Fuchs

While the movie has been termed a "docudrama" for its mix of reenactments, interviews, and archival news footage, it is not nearly so easy or easygoing about "truth" as such a label suggests. The film's complex form corresponds to its story, in the sense that "truth" is precisely what troubles it. [11 January 2007]

The very illegibility of the movie's representational process, you imagine, approximates the assaults on the prisoners. [23 June 2006]
