The best film picks, March 8

Published: March 7, 2013 

Sunday evening, Cinema Inc. is proudly presenting one of the most influential movies of all time: Fritz Lang’s 1931 German crime thriller “M” at the Rialto Theater. Peter Lorre stars as the villainous child murderer Hans Beckert in the classic film that was one of the first “talkies,” that is, films with sound, for our younger readers. Those tired of the slick formulas of today’s suspense films should really give “M” a look. Its mixture of chilling tension and social commentary make it the forerunner of thousands of psychological thrillers that don’t come close to Lang’s searing vision, including Joseph Losey’s ill-received 1951 American remake. “M” starts at 7, and season passes are $12.
