He had something of a baby face still at that point which added to the creepy effect. 105250@blogcritics.org Thu, 23 Dec 2004 19:07:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/12/23/162010.php#comment-105244 Excellent and thorough review. I've been meaning to see M for a long time, and it's great to see it getting such a classy treatment. I saw Ministry of Fear at a UC Berkeley film festival several years ago, and was vastly impressed by Lang's direction.

Post-war Germany was a powerful influence on many artists. M captures the zeitgeist well, besides being a seminal event in film history.
