Between his birth in 1960 and his death at the hands of a fellow prison inmate in 1994, Jeffrey Dahmer gained notoriety for killing 17 men, for cannibalizing parts of their bodies and for incorporating them into bizarre sexual rituals. According to a poll, he is more familiar to the American public than several recent presidents. Yet little is known about the emotionally and intellectually intriguing story behind the scandalous headlines.Shocking, suspenseful and strangely touching, DAHMER is no conventional crime drama. Written and directed by David Jacobson ("Down in the Valley"), the film seeks to recast a modern symbol of evil as a man driven by very real weaknesses and needs and, in so doing, to broaden our sense of what it is to be human.Featuring a richly textured, break-out performance by two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner ("The Hurt Locker," "The Town"), as well as strong supporting work from Oscar nominee Bruce Davison ("X-Men"), DAHMER offers a stunning portrait of a man crumbling beneath the weight of his simultaneous need for isolation and communion.
