“For instance, ‘M’ was the film where the concept of ‘Leitmotif’ was introduced in the film’s score. Leitmotif (for those who are unfamiliar) is a term used to define a recurring musical theme that is associated with a certain person or instance during the course of the film.”

Actually, this concept was also in M’s predecer Metropolis, if you watch the special features on the version with the original orchestral score. It’s a common mistake though because there are many versions made that don’t include the original orchestral score

Excellent post!

Lang’s use of sound in M is, indeed, rather great. Even looking back less than a year, to Sternberg’s The Blue Angel, one can see the progress being made.

Plus, makes you realize that sound doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective.
