M (1931) Fritz Lang (2 DVD)

M - Kaupunki etsii murhaajaa (1931) kahden levyn Ultimate Edition, restauroitu (suomijulkaisussa vanha huonolaatuinen TV-kopio) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Like a brand, the letter M has made its mark on film history with its disturbing theme having lost none of its impact or relevance. Sinister, dark and foreboding, M tells the story of Hans Beckert (Peter Lorre) ? child molester and murderer. Tension builds ? a child late home, another child missing. Posters reveal the fate of earlier victims and the police seem to have few clues as to the perpetrator of the crimes. Gangsters, beggars and petty criminals, incensed by both the crimes and the police crackdown, track the killer themselves. Cornered, caught and dragged off to face an equally barbaric form of justice, Beckert endures his own personal torment. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lisämateriaali & restaurointi: ------------------------------------------------------------------- M on disc has a great deal of documentary material featuring scholars and technicians telling us just how clever they have been in preparing this splendid restoration. The film also comes with a detailed commentary into which has been spliced interview material with Lang talking in English about specific sequences. There is a German-language film interview with Lang in which he talks through his career and re-enacts the interview with Goebbels that led to his exile; an audio interview with Peter Bogdanovich; and an intelligent video critical essay by film historian R Dixon Smith. The restored film is shown in its correct, unusual visual aspect ratio of 1.90:1 and has vivid cleaned-up digital mono sound: the murderer's whistling of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" has never sounded so chilling. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ohjaus: Fritz Lang ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pääosissa: Peter Lorre, Otto Wernicke, Ellen Widmann, Theodor Loos ------------------------------------------------------------------- kieli saksa kannen kieli englanti tekstitys englanti ------------------------------------------------------------------- kuva 1.33:1 aluekoodi 2 eurooppa ------------------------------------------------------------------- T. 3.
