My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done

In "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done," Werner Herzog masterfully weaves together a surreal and thrilling narrative of obsession, madness, and the darker side of human nature. When Brad McCullam, a mentally unstable young man, commits murder and barricades himself inside his house, Detective Havenhurst and his partner are tasked with unraveling the strange tale that led him to this point. Through a series of flashbacks, the film reveals Brad's increasingly disturbing descent into chaos, set against the eerie backdrop of a Greek tragedy rehearsal, where he plays the role of a killer - a performance that eerily mirrors his own deadly actions.
