M

by Anton Kaes
This is part of the BFI Film Classics series, and it covers the brilliant Fritz Lang movie “M,” which starred Peter Lorre. This was Lang’s first sound film, and it ROCKS.
Anyway.
The book is cool, if slim, and it talks about all kinds of things, including Lang’s use of parallel visuals and sound to build tension and make a point. This is a great movie, and it’s out on DVD. It’s worth seeing, and then this book is worth reading to get more out of the film.
