02
Orozco the Embalmer
Why this pick
For Caniba’s willingness to confront taboo material without cushioning it, this stark documentary offers an equally uncompromising encounter with death, routine, and ethical discomfort.
03
Titicut Follies
Why this pick
Its unflinching institutional observation and profound ethical unease anticipate Caniba’s power: the film leaves viewers to sit with troubling behaviour rather than supplying reassurance.
04
Into Great Silence
Why this pick
Though far quieter in subject, its extreme duration, sparse dialogue, and sensory attention share Caniba’s demanding, intimate approach to observing enclosed lives.
05
The Act of Killing
Why this pick
Like Caniba, it faces horrifying testimony through disquietingly close access to its subjects, generating tension through moral ambiguity and the gap between confession and self-image.
