Fritz Lang

Fritz Lang

One of the giants of German cinema, Fritz Lang, was a visionary director whose silent films (Metropolis, 1927 etc.), and many subsequent sound films, including M, which is featured in this film, highlight the rich history of German filmmaking. Gordian Maugg, who directed and co-wrote (with Alexander Hauesser) this 2016 narrative, focuses on Lang’s filming of the 1930 film M and his fascination with a real serial killer at the time, Kuerth (Samuel Finzi).
