The Black Vampire
Leaving July 31
•
1h 30m
Directed by Román Viñoly Barreto • 1953 • Argentina
Starring Olga Zubarry, Roberto Escalada, Nelly Panizza
This fascinating, long-overlooked remake of Fritz Lang’s M offers a fresh perspective on the landmark thriller by focusing on the lives of the female characters ignored in earlier iterations. Argentine cinema legend Olga Zubarry stars as a cabaret performer trying to protect her young daughter from a mysterious murderer while parrying the advances of the prosecutor (Roberto Escalada) pursuing the killer. Nathán Pinzón, who also appeared in director Román Viñoly Barreto’s THE BEAST MUST DIE a year earlier, gives an impressive, against-type performance as the disturbed pedophile hiding in plain sight.
