M (1931)

For our classic noir themed month every Thursday we will discuss a classic Noir from a non-english speaking country and today’s foreign feature about THE LEFT HAND ENDEAVOR is a foundational one and influences the entire month. It was all filmed on the cusp of great turmoil in Peter Lorre and Fritz Lang’s home country. Of course we’re talking about Fritz Lang’s masterpiece “M” from 1931. Within two years both of these men will have fled their country but before that they managed to invent some film techniques in this thriller where Peter Lorre plays a serial child murderer. All classes and levels of Berlin society kick the city over in search of a psychotic man. The earliest film we will discuss this month. Of course you can find it online.
