Otherwise, pic is almost startlingly matter-of-fact, supported by a keen sense of gradual build-up. This interlude, driven by light strobes and rapid montage, is the only one with a hint of sensationalism. Another flashback is triggered by Dahmer picking up young, cocky Rodney (Artel Kayaru) in a knife store and going to a gay bar where, a few years before, Dahmer had systematically drugged and raped dozens of male clubbers.

An extremely effective and sustained scene with a younger Dahmer trying to hide his growing fetishes for mannequins from grandma (Kate Williamson) and DahmerвЂ™s inquisitive father Lionel (Bruce Davison) encapsulates the growing-up stage and the faulty family life in a few minutes.

Thus begins a series of flashbacks that may be too numerous for the movieвЂ™s own good, but which fill in the details of this human monster. Not only does this sequence, shorn of all but the most essential talk, show how Dahmer managed to get away with his killings for several years, but it artfully places the viewer in a third-person position to observe such incidental but chilling shocks as Khamtay reviving in bed and finding the corpse of a black man beside him, or Dahmer going to his grandmaвЂ™s house to dispose of a crow which has gotten inside her kitchen. Incredibly, Khamtay manages to get away, but Dahmer convinces skeptical Milwaukee cops that heвЂ™s just a friend whoвЂ™s a bit out of it.

Opening credit montage of assembly line at chocolate factory where Dahmer works in the early вЂ™90s immediately tells viewer that this isnвЂ™t the Jeffrey Dahmer movie anyone is expecting, and with calm, precise efficiency, action moves right into Dahmer bringing a victim, Khamtay (Dion Basco), home for slow torture. It is quite enough, the film suggests, to show and not tell, albeit in a form that accordions and slightly fictionalizes the numerous deaths, fluidly interspersed with flashbacks.

Pic is as interesting for what it leaves out as for what it keeps in, and most impressive of all is the absence of a moralistic perspective on the killing rampage that reached its climax in 1991. Throughout вЂњDahmer,вЂќ he displays a consistently confident approach, with a strong belief that the camera can show the surface layer of people, things and actions, and allow for meaning to gradually seep through. Jacobson, who enjoyed acclaim with features вЂњCriminalвЂќ and вЂњRoast Suckling,вЂќ is a writer-director worthy of serious attention.
