About this event

Dir Fritz Lang/DE 1931/111 mins/German wEng ST Peter Lorre, Ellen Widmann, Inge Landgut Peter Lorre’s first major screen role was also his greatest, as the compulsive child murderer on the run from both a desperate, frustrated police force and Berlin’s far more ruthless criminal underworld. Made two years before Hitler came to power, Fritz Lang’s first sound film is a great psychological thriller, a trenchant treatise on crime and justice, and a vivid portrait of the rapidly disintegrating Weimar Republic. M screens as part of HOME’s latest film course, Film Theory in Conversation, running from Wed 23 Sep – Wed 18 Nov.
