Beautiful Dead Woman

Out of 300 episodes of the German TV-series „Ein Fall für zwei (A Case for two)“, the short film „Beautiful Dead Woman“ re-arranges female death stagings. A short found footage montage about the obsession with and fetishization of female murder victims, about the staging of female passivity and about a culture of romanticized femicide.
