Synopsis |
|
Based on the true story of German
serial killer Jürgen Bartsch, this
film offers no easy explanations for
Bartsch's behavior. Framed by the
confessions of the older Bartsch
while in prison, the film flashes
back to those moments when the
teenaged Bartsch committed his
crimes. While the first person
perspective of a murderer could
possibly alienate an audience,
first-time director Kai Pieck
condemns Bartsch's actions while
simultaneously depicting the harsh
world that might have spurred them:
an emotionally cold family, an
overbearing Christian upbringing,
and a confused sexuality all play a
part in motivating the chilling
murders. |
