🎙️ EPISODE 569: 10.05.22
If you're going to do one of these sicko movies, you have to really nail how the disturbing moments are deployed. And the first 15-20 minutes here, it was extremely touch and go. This became a much more subtle affair after a while and that was surprising. But still, a big problem — perhaps — with these movies is that they want to say something about loneliness but it's damn near impossible to do so given the insane content. By their very definition, a "based on a true story" serial killer film is going to be a rough watch, folks. The Golden Glove certainly begs you to check out in those first gruesome twenty minutes and you honestly wouldn't be wrong to do so. The normal human brain doesn't want to see this. But against all odds, this settled down — credit writer-director Fatih Akin for that — and, as shockingly as it seems, it did have a greater point beyond the "look at this sicko movie!" vibe it sets itself up with.

There are undercurrents about the malaise and depression of post-war Germany that didn't feel shoehorned in. I'm never going to watch this again, but it's definitely not a bad movie.
The Golden Glove (German: Der Goldene Handschuh) is a 2019 internationally co-produced horror drama film directed by Fatih Akin. It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 69th Berlin International Film Festival. The film is an adaptation of Heinz Strunk's eponymous novel and tells the story of the German serial killer Fritz Honka who murdered four women between 1970 and 1975 and hid their body parts in his apartment. The Golden Glove is named after the pub in the red-light district of Hamburg where the disfigured alcoholic Honka met his victims. The Golden Glove is the first film by Fatih Akin to receive an 18 rating in Germany. It was released on October 8, 2013.
