M is definitely mid-tier Losey, but I find it to be a better candidate to revisit than his other mid-tier films if only to compare to the original. The ending is also an excellent take on the original, it's just too bad he wasn't as adventurous with what comes before it, it could have been among his best.

Yay! Day 1 purchase for me regardless of extras, which will most certainly be better than Kino's. Can't count on Criterion picking this one up, though they should do a 4K box of all three Losey/Pinter films to make up for not releasing The Servant in 4K the first time around.

For me, this is the quintessential Losey film, even if it's a hard one to recommend to any normal person.
