Brooklyn Film Discussion Series

Fritz Lang's "M"

This event will be held virtually on Zoom.

Grab your movie candy and get ready for Fritz Lang's M (1931), a German thriller starring Peter Lorre. Our discussion of the film will be held virtually using Zoom.

"A simple, haunting musical phrase whistled offscreen tells us that a young girl will be killed. "Who Is the Murderer?" pleads a nearby placard as serial killer Hans Beckert (Peter Lorre) closes in on little Elsie Beckmann...  In his harrowing masterwork, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller."

As Fritz Lang's first sound film, M was voted Best German Film of All Time by the Association of German Cinémathèques.
