Munich Filmmuseum opens new film and psychoanalysis season with "Der Totmacher"

The Filmmuseum at St.-Jakobs-Platz 1 in Munich will begin the new season of its "Film and Psychoanalysis" series at 5pm on Sunday 18 October. This season's theme is "All That Is Right", a focus on matters of law and justice.

The season opens with the 1995 feature film "Der Totmacher" by Romuald Karmakar. Based on historical interrogation transcripts from 1924, the film is a minimalist and intense portrayal of an encounter in an interrogation room between the serial killer Fritz Haarmann, played by Götz George, and his psychiatrist.

The Munich psychologists Irmgard Nagel and Corinna Wernz will introduce the film and then analyse it together with the audience.

Admission costs 5 euros, or 3 euros for members of the MFZ supporters' association. Tickets can be bought in advance online or at the box office, which opens 60 minutes before the screening. Reservations are not accepted.

The cinema is wheelchair accessible and has an induction loop for people with hearing impairments.
