Lothar Schramm (Florian Koerner von Gustorf) is dying face down in a pool of his own blood. Behind his closed eyes fractured memories repeat themselves again and again. He runs by the sea. He lusts after the whore (Monika M) across the hall. He staggers through life uncertainly. He kills. Schramm is the story of the notorious Lipstick Killer Lothar Schramm’s last days on earth. Revealed in a series of tightly constructed flashbacks the film offers an unflinching look into the mind of a serial killer. (official distributor synopsis)

I won't say that I was so impressed by Schramm: Into the Mind of a Serial Killer that it blew me away. It simply didn’t. But unlike other German authors of the early 1990s, Jörg Buttgereit has one big advantage. It's not just the disgust itself that he's after, but he's trying to convey something. These may be twisted thoughts, but honestly - and this is the worst part - I imagine that people like this do exist, that they can snap, and then we hear about them on the news.
