Absurd reality

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2009)

Hotel Rwanda shows a country falling apart with the sudden start of the 1994 Rwandan genocide. What follows is an unreal, incomprehensible nightmare, in which the protagonists watch how everything they valued is being destroyed. The lack of an explanation amplifies the absurdity of the situation, while the fact that this movie covers recent events increases the impression that this could be happening here and now. The great acting draws the viewer into the characters' situation, and together with them it is waiting for the international community to come to the rescue. They will come, won't they? In summary, I found this a very touching and eye opening movie. One of a kind.
