M

Directed by Fritz Lang
1931
Germany
★ 8.9 editorial score

Serial killer films begin here: Lang used sound as a weapon in his first talkie, gave the murderer a whistled tune, and turned a whole city into a trap.

“When you watch "M,” you see a hatred for the Germany of the early 1930s that is visible and palpable...What I sense is that Lang hated the people around him, hated Nazism, and hated Germany for permitting it.”
