Along the banks of the Cygnet River on Kangaroo Island‚ the branches of the dying gum trees stretch out like accusing fingers. They have no leaves. Birds search in vain for nectar-bearing flowers.

The weakest and unhealthiest become dinner for those predators and also become a positive thing for the species that only the strongest of the herd will survive

Perhaps the most interesting personality we encounter in the movie M is that of the serial killer Hans Beckert. It’s not uncommon to be fascinated by a mind that works in ways so unknown to the average person. One is compelled to wonder: What drives them to kill another human being? What goes on in their head?
