M - A City in Search of a Murderer
German version, English subtitles
D 1931, Director: Fritz Lang
With: Peter Lorre, Ellen Widmann, Inge Landgut
Fritz Lang's first sound film based on a true story. Berlin, 1931: The psychopathic child murderer Hans Beckert (superbly played by Peter Lorre) sends the city of Berlin into mass hysteria. While the police search for Beckert, the underworld is also alarmed. The murderer is hounded and cornered from all sides. In his film, Fritz Lang not only depicts the fate of this murderer, but also portrays the mood of the Weimar Republic, in which the criminal organization functions just as much as the state organization.
