If you loved El suplicio de una madre, try El señor Verdoux
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, pitch black mood tags, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to El suplicio de una madre, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What El señor Verdoux is
Chaplin's dark comedy asks if mass murder is worse than individual killings. Verdoux is a family man who weds then poisons rich women to support his wife and child. It's a bit unsettling to realize how well the film's cynicism still lands.
