The Golden Glove

A serial killer strikes fear in the hearts of residents of Hamburg during the early 1970s.

Details

The Golden Glove (2019) takes viewers back to the dark and unsettling atmosphere of early 1970s Hamburg, where a serial killer terrorizes the community. Directed by Fatih Akin, this chilling and gripping film tells the gruesome story of Fritz Honka, a man known as The Golden Glove due to his fondness for wearing women's gloves.

Honka, played by Jonas Dassler, is a middle-aged loner with a disturbing secret. He lures unsuspecting women into his apartment, where he brutally murders them and carries out shocking acts of necrophilia. As the body count rises, the fear and paranoia among the city's residents escalate.

With a raw and unflinching approach, Akin portrays Hamburg as a grim and desolate place, reflecting the dark psychology of both the killer and the society he inhabits. The film delves into the complex psyche of Honka and offers a disturbing exploration of his motives and desires.

Drawing inspiration from the real-life crimes of Fritz Honka, The Golden Glove is a haunting and visceral experience that dissects the nature of evil. Akin's meticulous attention to detail and Dassler's powerful performance combine to create an unnerving portrayal of a serial killer, reminding us of the chilling darkness that can lurk beneath the surface of any community.
