M - 2 DISC SPECIAL EDITION - (THE CRITERION COLLECTION)

Details

• Release Year: 1931
• Genre: Crime, Drama, Suspense/Thriller
• Plot: A simple, haunting phrase whistled off-screen 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 M, 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. The Criterion Collection is proud to present a new restoration of this landmark film.
