Lasermannen

About This Movie

Lasermannen is a chilling examination of the psyche behind violence, set against the stark backdrop of 1990s Sweden. The documentary dives deep into John Ausonius, the infamous Laser Man, who shot several immigrants, leaving a haunting scar on society. Gellert Tamas connects with Ausonius in prison, which gives a raw, unsettling atmosphere to the whole piece. It’s not just about the crimes; it's about the unsettling calmness of Ausonius as he recounts his actions. The pacing is deliberate, almost methodical, mirroring the cold nature of the subject. The film touches on themes of xenophobia and societal response, which gives it a weight that lingers well after watching. A distinctive blend of real-life horror and psychological exploration.
