Pop Up Kino is a monthly film series celebrating German cinema from the East to the West and from the Weimar period to the Contemporary. Throughout the year a curated selection of films will be screened at MATCH and introduced by a special guest presenter.
The first in a series of Weimar-era films, Pop Up Kino presents Fritz Lang’s M.
M, 1931
Directed by Fritz Lang
A simple, haunting musical phrase whistled offscreen tells us that a young girl will be killed. “Who Is the Murderer?” pleads a nearby placard as serial killer Hans Beckert (Peter Lorre) closes in on little Elsie Beckmann...
In his harrowing masterwork M, Fritz Lang merges trenchant social commentary with chilling suspense, creating a panorama of private madness and public hysteria that to this day remains the blueprint for the psychological thriller.
Free admission.
Reserve a spot.
Doors open at 6:30. Starts at 7.
The film will be introduced by University of Houston Professor Dr. Sandra Frieden.
