Roberto Succo (UK-import)
In 1986 Roberto Succo escaped from an Italian mental institution, where he had been incarcerated for the brutal murder of his parents, and went into hiding in France. Travelling between the Mediterranean and the mountains of Savoy, Succo left a trail of inexplicable murders, rapes and abductions which the police investigators struggled to connect. Cedric Kahn's gripping dramatisation of true events gives a terrifying insight into the disturbed mind of a serial killer and also follows the desperate attempts by the police to hunt him down. Stefano Cassetti gives a riveting, extraordinarily intense performance as the psychotic Succo, who was declared France's public enemy number one.
