Some of the best films ask big philosophical questions, but M did more than this. M created a carefully constructed philosophical argument aimed at getting the audience to examine their own ideas of right and wrong.
M is a 1931 German drama-thriller film directed by Fritz Lang and starring Peter Lorre. The film was written by Lang and his wife, Thea Von Harbou, and was the director's first sound film.
The film concerns both the actions of a serial killer of children, and the manhunt for him, conducted by both the police and the criminal underworld.
Now considered a classic, the film was deemed by Fritz Lang to be his finest work.
Thanks for watching One Hundred Years of Cinema, I will be writing a video essay about at least one film each year from 1915 on wards to track the evolution of film over the last century. Please subscribe and share! Thank you!
