Dr. Petiot(1990)

Dr. Petiot is a French film based on the true story of a doctor who preyed on desperate Jews during Nazi occupation. Michel Serrault plays the titular physician, who posed as a savior offering safe passage to Argentina. In reality, Petiot lured victims to his home under false pretenses, murdered them with lethal injections disguised as vaccinations, and stole their valuables before cremating their bodies in a makeshift furnace. Shot in an expressionistic style, the film chronicles one of France's darkest criminal cases, exposing how a trusted medical professional exploited the vulnerability and fear of those seeking escape. A disturbing portrait of greed and betrayal during wartime.
