    A fascinating look at a highly controversial political leader in an untenable political climate. This is the best kind of documentary filmmaking - we are ultimately left to wrestle with our own ethical sense rather than being told what to think.

    To her credit, Perry isn't taken in by Fujimori's attempts to distance himself from the controversies that plagued his presidency. Helped by Kim Roberts's excellent editing, she succinctly chronicles his unlikely ascent and subsequent collapse.

    Perry creates an objective yet not overly dry character study of the man, now a fugitive living in Japan, as he recalls his days in power.

    It's a fascinating, haunting, unintentionally gruesome spectacle with, as Perry has said, echoes of Shakespearean tragedy.
