Movie Haiku:Chilling Argentine drama about Nazi war criminal Josef Mengele (“the Angel of Death”) imagines an upscale post-Auschwitz life for him in the Andean resort of Bariloche until Israelis capture Eichmann & Mengele flees to Paraguay. All the while, he continues his nefarious “experiments” finding an ideal subject in teenage Lilith & her mother Eva (pregnant with twins).
