About this event
A lonely nurse in upstate New York becomes involved with a charismatic con man, and together they embark on a crime spree targeting lonely, overweight women through personal ads. As their partnership intensifies, their relationship becomes as unstable and destructive as the murders they commit. Leonard Kastle’s film takes a stark, almost documentary approach to true-crime material, stripping away glamour in favour of procedural detail and emotional bleakness. Its restrained style and focus on character dysfunction give the story a cold, matter-of-fact brutality that contrasts with more sensational crime dramas.
