Deep Crimson 1996

OBS: Kun 4K-disken er sonefri, medfølgende BLU-RAY er sone A.One of the peaks of subversive Mexican director Arturo Ripstein's cinema of outsiders, this deliriously perverse portrait of obsessive love dares audiences to see the humanity in the most sordid of antiheroes. A lonely hearts advertisement leads lusty nurse Coral (Regina Orozco) to Nicolas (Daniel Gimenez Cacho), a con man with whom she forges an increasingly intense, twisted bond as they crisscross 1940s Mexico, robbing and murdering the women he seduces. Blending sweeping melodrama with macabre humor and eruptions of berserk violence, Ripstein transforms one of the most infamous true-crime stories of the twentieth century into a haunting vision of how love can give way to madness.
