(Also if you got the stomach for it there is a fairly recent movie about the norwegian terrorist-attack mentioned in the article. Amazingly it is shot without the viewers getting a single view of the perpetrator, apart from some grainy surveillance video at the start.

Excerpt from a review:"Shot in a heart wrenching and challenging single take, Poppe’s film echoes many of the hyper-real attributes of Gus Van Sant’s Elephant (2003). The resulting movie one of such immense power and emotion that it divided critics and audiences alike on release. However, this is a film that wants the audience to play witness to the events, while never seeking to exploit them for cinematic effect. With many of the survivors of Utøya directly involved in the writing of the screenplay and eventual filming. As a result, the audience is asked to reflect on the real horror of hatred and violence. And while this may prove challenging, it is also essential in us understanding the abhorrence of terrorism and those who perpetrate and plan such events. "
I found it to be a very effective an interestingly different way of doing that kind of movie. )
