A Black Veil for Lisa
“White veils for angels”
Franz Bulon is a police inspector intent on bringing down a major drug ring operating in Hamburg. Thwarted at every turn by an assassin who is systematically killing informants, jealous of his beautiful, younger wife, Lisa, and suspecting her of having an affair (is it real or imagined?), Bulon can scarcely focus on his work. With jealousy nearing the boiling point, Bulon hires Max, the assassin he has arrested for the recent informant murders, to kill his wife...
This film feels like a suffocating descent into suspicion and moral decay, wrapped in a sleek, cynical European package. It's a tense, stylish exploration of paranoia and obsession, where the lines between justice and personal vendetta blur into a darkly compelling, unsettling experience.
