What Elite Squad Is About
José Padilha's 2007 film follows a captain serving in a special police unit in Rio. He is looking for a successor. The unit uses torture as a method. The film makes that captain its narrator; the narrative proceeds in a voice that defends those methods and is built to unsettle the viewer. It won the Golden Bear in Berlin. It caused a wide argument in Brazil. The scenes of violence and torture are explicit. Who it's for: those who like hard political crime films. Who it's not for: viewers troubled by scenes of torture; the film does not spare them.
