M

M Tube. Duration : 110.67 Mins.


** IMDB #58 Best Movie Of All Time ** in High Def M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Moerder (1931) When the police in a German city are unable to catch a child-murderer, other criminals join in the manhunt. This film is nothing less than a masterpiece. It is a highly structured and stylized film about a serial killer. It created the serial kill genre, which includes such entries as Psycho and Silence of the Lambs. Alfred Hitchcock (the director of Psycho) was a disciple of Lang as were Jacques Tourneur (The Leopard Man (1943)) and Michael Powell (Peeping Tom (1960)). M was not only the originator of the genre, but arguably remains it preeminent entry. Highly recommended for those in the mood for a Hitchcockian-style thriller with a great performance by Peter Lorre and great story-telling technique by Fritz Lang
