REVIEW
A stunning futuristic tale about a German society plagued by a series of violent, unexplained suicides. Originally titled Dr. M. (perhaps in homage to Fritz Lang's entropic character), the film stars Bates as the megalomaniacal Dr. Marsfeldt, head of an all-powerful media organization and self-professed "travel agent" for whom death is the ultimate vacation. Beals is oddly (but effectively) cast as Marsfeldt's unwitting ally. Fans of the cerebral science fiction of the '70s will find this a welcome treat. (Filmed in English) You Might Also Like
