Nice overview of the history of the underrated supervillain of German cinema, Dr. Mabuse. Covers the 12 or so movies that have featured Dr. Mabuse including concise but interesting biographies of the respective directors, summaries of their plots, histories of their productions, analysis of their themes, and relevant contextual placement within German and filmic culture as well as in relation to each other.
