Plot – Spoilers:
Based on the German serial killer, The Vampire of Hanover, Fritz Haarmann.
Fritz Haarmann has a special thing for young men and boys. In post WW-1 Germany, finding desperate boys isn’t too hard and Fritz has a supply of young flesh that he brings back home to ravage and later butcher. As a black-marketeer specializing in meat, getting rid of their bodies is easy and his friends and social circle often enjoy his tasty dinner parties. Fritz is a man of limited means often resorting to petty theft and the sale of his victims’ belongings to live day to day. A lot of the money he is able to arrange goes into funding the company of a younger pimp he is in love with. It also helps that in war-strapped Germany the police enlist his help to rat out other petty criminals and so Fritz has friends and access to information to help him get away with his crimes for a while.
The narrative in Tenderness Of The Wolves is stilted at times, but is overall a satisfyingly gritty ’70s German flick with some of producer Fassbinder’s style flowing through it.
This is just a cursory look in to the Fritz Haarmann case. Bits and pieces of the true story are sprinkled in to the film but the meat and potatoes of what really happened is left out. For instance, Fritz used to chew out his victim’s Adam’s Apples while he was strangling them. The arrest of Fritz certainly did not happen the way it appears to have in the film, which was for dramatic purposes. Also, the police discovered meat that Fritz was selling in his apartment and it turned out to be animal meat. There is still the possibility he was selling human meat for consumption. Speaking of meat, my main beef with most “true story” films is that they tend to gloss over facts (at best) or outright fabricate events (at worst) to target some sort of audience. I find that the real true story is usually more interesting than the dramatized version seen in films. That is not to say that these films aren’t good or entertaining. For example, “The Gray Man” (2007) and “Henry: Potrait of a Serial Killer” (1986) are both great films but are both way off the mark when it comes to the reality of the events in question. That being said, “Tenderness of the Wolves” is a pretty good film with a creepy performance by Kurt Raab as Haarmann. I’m going to give this one just a cunt hair over 3 stars. I tried to find another film about Haarmann entitled “Der… Read more »
Old men are nothing but pedophiles. As a young man, I would never have sex with a old,decrepit fart. He should be worried about strokes, heart attacks and prostate issues. Nasty ass old head!
As well as I know of another movie about a serial killer, also based on a true story, the prototype is also called Fritz, “der goldene Handschuh.”(2019)
Deathmaker or “Der Totmacher” (1995) is a good movie too where Haarmann is interviewed by a psychologist. That’s all it is, interviews, no flashback scenes of his brutal crimes, but a great performance makes it good to watch, the main guy is outstanding.
Yeah, this was a good one, luv these old movies no one’s ever heard of. great acting and filming. Thanks again EU…
