“HUMAN REMAINS stares evil in its altogether human face. As brilliant a film as its subject is chilling.”
Human Remainsis a haunting documentary which illustrates the banality of evil by creating intimate portraits of five of the 20th century’s most reviled dictators. The film unveils the personal lives of Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Joseph Stalin, Francisco Franco and Mao Tse Tung. We learn the private and mundane details of their everyday lives — their favorite foods, films, habits and sexual preferences. There is no mention of their public lives or of their place in history. The intentional omission of the horrors for which these men were responsible hovers over the film.
