If you loved Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse, try Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler
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

What Dr. Mabuse, der Spieler is
The squalor of 1920s Berlin, winter’s cough in the air. A ring of spies signals across stock tickers. A top-hatted hypnotist buys a nightclub star’s secrets for a single orchid. Commissioner von Wenk counts losses in a café where every napkin bears a signature he can’t read.
