Human Remains

Jay Rosenblatt is the festival's most deft footage sniper. His sourly funny excavation of the dictatorial mundane in Human Remains weaves informal clips of Hitler, Stalin, Franco, Mao, and Mussolini beneath life-after-death autobiographical testimonies: Hitler had bad gas and used chamomile teas as an enema; Mussolini had weekly pedicures; Stalin played practical jokes and dated 15-year-olds; Franco hunted partridges; Mao never bathed, caught VD, and was always constipated. Both Mao and Hitler were missing a testicle. It's an exhumation as much as a second burial. At the ICA, November 10 at 9 p.m.
