Banned by the Nazis but considered by Lang to be his greatest cinematic achievement, this serial-killer drama unfolds among Berlin’s tenements, slums and city streets. Lorre excels as a pitiless yet psychologically complex child murderer who provokes mob fervour and draws both a stressed police force and an unforgiving underworld into frenzied pursuit. With its shadow-play and moody atmosphere, underpinned by a stunning score, M is an unsettling work of brilliance.
