Title: Great Concept-Poor Execution
Product review: Don't get me wrong, the idea of taking a list of the greatest movies and then writing a series of books detailing the movie and its impact is a fascinating idea. The book by Anton Kaes on "M" is a stellar example of how the movie and book compliment each other. But here, in another Fritz Lang film the idea is torture. I could never get what the author was trying to say, he rambled on and on and never got to a point. It is neither a book of film criticism, nor a book on the times depected, nor quite frankly of anything else. I love Metropolis, I have seen it many times, in both the Moreder version and the incomplete silent versions. It is a masterpiece, this book is not. Watch and read M instead.
