The Secret Killer (Le Vampire de Düsseldorf)

Robert Hossein, an all-round artist, adapted the real-life story of Peter Kurten, the Dusseldorf killer who inspired Fritz Lang’s M. Hossein’s near clinical study of a criminal is graphically vivid and intense. In a stunning black and white, Hossein perfectly assumes the lead role in one France’s first serial killer films.
