Review of M (1931) by Buddy A — 02 Sep 2008
A true masterpiece of cinema. Lang's first sound film (and Lorre's first major starring role) is an absolute triumph of pacing, cinematography, and acting. Its use of sound is both innovative and interesting, and its visuals heavily influenced practically every noir film ever made.
Lorre's work is simply outstanding, likely his best, and the film's pacing is absolutely perfect; the tension expressed throughout the film is truly palpable. If you love thrillers, mysteries, film noir, expressionism, or just plain ol' excellent movies, you must see this film.
