Newly released Austrian film depicts life as a pedophile

From Deutsche Welle:

In his film debut entitled “Michael,” Austrian filmmaker Markus Schleinzer tells the tale of the abduction of a child from the perspective of the pedophile perpetrator.

Austrian Markus Schleinzer, a long-time casting director, chose characters for Oscar-winning films such as “The Counterfeiters” and “The White Ribbon.” But the cases involving Kampusch, who was kidnapped at the age of 10 and held captive for over eight years before escaping in 2006, and Fritzl, who held his daughter prisoner for 24 years until 2008, raping her and conceiving seven children with her, preoccupied Schleinzer so much that he decided to make a film on the topic.
