Der Groß-Cophta

In this 1960 black-and-white noir-tinged caper, a disillusioned German police detective hunter-to-be finds himself tangled in a web of deceit, double lives, and stubborn loyalties. As a routine case spirals into a dangerous pursuit, he must navigate shifting alliances, hidden motives, and moral ambiguities that challenge his sense of justice. The city’s pulse quickens as secrets come to light, forcing him to confront what he’s willing to risk for truth, and what truth might cost him. A taut, atmospheric drama about power, cunning, and the price of keeping order in a world where innocence is a fragile illusion.
