This Weekend’s Film Festival Celebrates True Crime
25 07 2007 |
With the release of David Fincher’s ZODIAC on DVD, I thought it was a great time to devote This Weekend’s Film Festival to true crime films. I’ve picked five films covering three real killings and/or killers. Four are fiction accounts of real events while one is a documentary where we hear directly from the killer. Murder, especially serial killings, often draws our attention, because it deals with the darkest reaches of the human condition. Bloody conflict between men has been part of our art and entertainment forever. We are fascinated with the fringe and extreme behavior, but why? Hopefully this lineup will address the reasons.
