Review:<\/p>\n

In 1992, the bodies of two Roma <\/a>men were found shot to death in a cornfield by the German-Polish border, after which the field suddenly went up in flames. That small, cinematic image pushed filmmaker & artist Philip Scheffner<\/a> to investigate what sounded like a pulpy crime tale, but he ended up discovering a tragic story of injustice, a bungled investigation, and two Romanian families forever scarred with the loss of their beloved patriarchs.<\/p>\n

The impact and cruelties suffered by victims of violence come through very clear, but Scheffner\u2019s technique \u2013 re-asking and reassessing the events surrounding the murders of the migrant workers \u2013 make the film tough-going, mostly because his push for realism and real-time reactions includes often static master and medium shots \u2013 many involving interviewees listening to their audio statements after which they add missed details.<\/p>\n

Scheffner also lingers on too many visual nuances, grinding the midsection to a deadly crawl, leaving the most arresting and outrageous details for the tighter finale. The film\u2019s still a fresh take on the investigative crime documentary, but Scheffner\u2019s peculiar & sometimes artistically indulgent style may lose a few viewers before the endpoint.<\/p>\n
