Die Zartlichkeit der Wolfe / Tenderness of the Wolves (1973)
This film brilliantly captures the decay, both physical and moral, of post-WWI Germany. The movie explores 2 key questions - Why did Fritz Haarman brutally murder young men, and perhaps more importantly, why was he allowed to get away with it for so long?
Kurt Raab is terrific is Haarman, but deserves praise as well for his set decoration. The movie is filled with rich colors and textures and often breath-taking locations. Director Ulli Lommel creates a creepy atmosphere that's hard to look away from.
