By Thea von Harbou and Fritz Lang 1930.

Berlin is gripped with fear as a murderer preys on the city's children against a backdrop of political turbulence and rising criminality.

Fritz Lang's cinema classic has been voted the most important German film of all-time in its home country.

Peter Straughan's kaleidoscopic adaptation exploits the emphasis Lang placed on sound in his first steps beyond the silent movie era.
