M (1931)

"M" is a French drama built around intense, close-quarters emotional drama rather than a plot-driven story. It follows its characters through turbulent relationships that get raw and confrontational. Sara Forestier leads the film with a performance that pushes into vulnerable territory. The site hosts one scene from the movie, and it's a frank one. Forestier goes fully nude in a sequence that favors honesty over polish. It's a brief but telling addition for anyone following her more daring screen work.
