14:30, 21:45. Crime, Drama, Horror. Germany, France 2019, 115 min. Directed by Fatih Akin. Starring: Jonas Dassler, Adam Bousdoukos, Marc Hosemann. In German with Russian subtitles. Set against a grimy depiction of director Fatih Akin’s native Hamburg, The Golden Glove is based on the true story of serial killer Fritz Honka, who between 1970 and 1975 murdered at least four women, stashing their dismembered and decomposing corpses in his small attic apartment. The film, based on a novelized version of Honka’s story by Heinz Strunk, is intentionally, bracingly ugly, a confrontationally gore-splattered semi-comedy that simultaneously challenges and engages in the trappings of exploitation cinema.

Beat Film Festival. Documentary. USA 2018, 74 min. Directed by Gary Hustwit. In English with Russian subtitles.

Directed by Gary Hustwit, the film includes in-depth conversations with Dieter, and deep dives into his philosophy, his process, and his inspirations. One of the most interesting parts of Dieter's story is that he now looks back on his career with some regret.
