The Night It Rained

The director constructs a Rashomon-like puzzle to deconstruct a state-sanctioned myth. He relies on interviews, archival footage, and reconstructions to explore the process of myth-making by the media and authorities, rather than the event itself.

What lingers after the credits is a profound skepticism toward convenient heroic narratives. The film serves as a potent exercise in media literacy, dissecting the machinery of propaganda. — MovieFinder Editorial
