Tatort Berlin - Der Massenmörder Bruno Lüdke

Bruno Lüdke, who was mentally disabled, is said to have brutally murdered 53 people in Berlin and throughout Germany. In 1944, he died under unexplained circumstances at the Central Institute of Forensic Medicine of the Security Police in Vienna, where numerous experiments had been performed on him. In 1991, doubts arose as to whether Lüdke could have committed a single murder at all.

Directed by Gabi Schlag, Tatort Berlin - Der Massenmörder Bruno Lüdke leans on a strong ensemble — Thilo Prothmann, Daniel Rossmeisl, Belinde Ruth Stieve — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2013.
