A new movie tells the true story of one of Denmark's most notorious serial killers.
n Denmark, most people know at least the basic facts of the horrifying true story that makes up the backbone of the new film,Between 1915 and 1920, a Copenhagen woman, Dagmar Overbye, offered to take on unwanted babies for a fee, telling the mothers they were going to a good home. Instead, she murdered them. Overbye was eventually caught and sentenced to death in 1921.
So Overbye, played by Trine Dyrholm, doesn't appear until about halfway into the film, which is shot in striking black and white. "Eventually she questions: is she becoming Dagmar or not," von Horn says."How does a normal person end up almost becoming a doppelganger or an apprentice that's going to take over."
