I read half before viewing the film and then the second half after pausing midway through Lang's masterpiece. This is a meticulous analysis of 1931 Berlin and the Brechtian daimon of Peter Lorre. There is considerable context on the recent phenomenon of serial killing in this mass society, the role of popular press and radio on reinforcing a nascent surveillance state == one both official/efficient and the murky one of the neighbor qua lynch mob.
