Peter Egerman comete un horrible crimen: viola y estrangula a una prostituta. Del caso se ocupa el psicoanalista Mogens Jensen, pues Egerman ya le había confesado en su consulta su deseo de asesinar a su mujer. A través de una investigación policíaca narrada en forma semidocumental, se va reconstruyendo el inquietante retrato del asesino, un hombre frustrado, sobre todo por el fracaso de su matrimonio, cuya única válvula de escape parece ser la violencia.
This ethereal, three-hour biopic is the middle film in Hans-Jürgen Syberberg’s “German Trilogy” on the mythological foundations of the Third Reich. By fusing theater, music, and cinema, Syberberg conjures up Karl May (1842-1912), the immensely popular German author, who set many of his adventure novels in an idealized version of the American Wild West. His tales of the cowboy and the Ubermensch alike were beloved by many, including (Our) Hitler, who supposedly ordered his generals to read May works after defeats in the Russian campaign.
