Cardillac
1985 · Released · 89 min
The goldsmith Cardillac is, as an «autonomically» creative artist, a «negative hero», a pathological, abnormally obsessed loner who murders those who buy his jewellery in order to regain possession of it. As the creator of an art with a fatal lack of compromise, turning away from those who want to use it, he is the «victim of a holy madness» who slays the people in order to protect himself from his murderous actions.
