BFI - 10 Great Films Set in Berlin (+10 Readers Poll)

"Berlin has done much for cinema. German Expressionism flourished in its famous UFA studios, while the documentary flavour of its 1930s films influenced the Italian neorealists. It powered the careers of legendary filmmakers like F.W. Murnau, Fritz Lang and Billy Wilder, and cultivated directors Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Josef von Sternberg among others. The textures of its assorted architecture – today, an eclecticism of Bauhaus, Gründerzeit, neoclassical edifices like the Reichstag, and the always-visible TV tower – has proven an irresistible setting for stories big and small.
To celebrate the sparkling restoration of Fritz Lang's M (1931) – which sets a manhunt for Peter Lorre's infanticidal sociopath in a shadow-black Berlin – here's our armchair travel guide to 10 of the best films to grapple with the city's enigmatic identity".
