The Architect of Shadows - Fritz Lang retrospective - 05.12 to 22.01 | Director of "Metropolis" and "M". The Fritz Lang retrospective starts already on December 5! One of the most influential directors of the last century will be on the Artis cinema screens until the end of January. The retrospective is brought to you by Unlimited Media and Kultuurikapital. M (1931) Fritz Lang's "M" is one of the masterpieces of the first sound film era, whose sharp social commentary and tense atmosphere have made it an original classic of the crime genre and film noir. The film is notable not only for its technical innovation and masterful production, but also for its deeply psychological treatment, highlighting both society's moral dilemmas and dark subconscious fears. "M" is an important milestone that highlighted Lang's ability as a director to deal with complex themes such as evil and the search for justice amidst the fears of the city. The plot of the film focuses on the serial killer Hans Beckert, who terrorizes a large German city in the 1930s, killing small children. The police launch a massive raid to catch the criminal, but their efforts lead to increased discontent in the city's criminal underworld. Desperate criminals decide to take justice into their own hands and organize a manhunt to capture Beckert. At the center of this hostile environment and fear-fueled passion is Beckert, played by Peter Lorre, in one of the most powerful and deeply disturbing roles in film history. Widely recognized for its historical significance and cinematic influence, "M" is one of the first films to take a deeply psychological approach to portraying a criminal. The film pioneered sound design, skillfully using sound effects and moments of silence to create tension and emphasize the characters' emotions. "M" has received international acclaim and is considered one of the most important films of the early 20th century. Its influence has extended beyond the crime genre and film noir, inspiring both filmmakers and viewers decades later. Fritz Lang's "M" will forever remain in the golden vault of film history for its deeply moving story and masterful craftsmanship.
