Review of M (1931) by Arth J — 02 Mar 2018
As if I couldn't tell..
M.
A smart approach towards pacing up the feature by focusing on the big events or sequences amd investing all the chips in and mesmerize the audience along with the essential information that proves worthy later on. Fritz Lang is definitely no short on execution but also introduces some new lights on the whole 'mystery' genre with Thea Von Harbou where it focuses on the thrill of it and not the responsibility of it that mostly looks like homework in the end. Peter Lorre; the anti-hero in here has easily the hardest work given since he barely had enough verbal sparring between anyone and had to communicate the audience through the visual medium throughout the feature and he has done it well. M is that rare feature that shows the viewers its different perspective towards genre, characters and even humanity and this is where it sweeps away all the charm.
