Human Remains

Human Remains  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.  Their personalities and psychological make-up are revealed through the details they convey. 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.

Winner of 27 awards including Sundance Film Festival Jury Award.
