If you loved Der Frauenmörder, try Glitzernder Asphalt
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theyboth carry the paranoid, raw mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Der Frauenmörder, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Glitzernder Asphalt is
Manhattan night. Distant sirens. A typewriter clacking. Journalist makes up a pimp for a story. The fiction too closely resembles an actual, dangerous man facing trial. Soon the writer is caught between the law and the streets. Schatzberg’s late-period crime films have a bitter aftertaste.
