Synopsis

This 1982 short film by Claude Chabrol is essentially a 10-minute version of M. Of interest as much for what it omits as for what it preserves, it lovingly attempts to recreate certain of Lang's indelible moments and yet stand on its own as a narrative. Its success is mixed; uneven pacing prevents it from conveying the urgency of the parent film, and Maurice Risch, playing Lorre playing Beckert, reveals by contrast just how extraordinary Lorre's performance is. Nevertheless, it's an interesting novelty and, together with the director interview, may be of value to film students and scholars.
