Re:Vision: Melody of Murder

Filmed in 1944 during Nazi occupation of Denmark, Mordets Melodi [Melody of Murder] explores the darker crevices of our world during a time of incalculable darkness. Directed by Bodil Ipsen — making her part of the small cadre of women credited with directing a film noir — the film follows the trail of a serial killer on the streets of Copenhagen, targeting women named Sonja. Due to a specific song always heard when the murders occur, suspicion falls on cabaret singer Odette Margot (Gull-Maj Norin), and she becomes unsure of her own role in these deaths. The rainswept, narrow streets of Copenhagen make for a perfect noir backdrop, depicting a labyrinthine underworld where a killer stalks their prey.
