VHS Movie Reviews of Mr. Klein [VHS]

Movie Review: Mr. Klein
Summary: 4 Stars

During World War II, M. Klein takes money from Jews trying to escape the country, but turns them over to the Nazis instead. Unfortunately for him, "Klein" is both a French name and a Jewish name. Alain Delon plays M. Klein.

Movie Review: A Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

I haven't seen this movie since it came out in 1976, but I've never forgotten it! Without question, it's a masterpiece, one of the best movies ever made about the Holocaust. Its subtlety is part of its power. After you've seen and appreciated "Mr. Klein," go to see the new movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas," the only other Holocaust movie in the same league as "Mr.Klein." Like "Mr. Klein," it's remarkably sensitive and moving, and packs an unbelievable wallop at the end. Two amazing movies!

Movie Review: A REAL DISCOVERY
Summary: 5 Stars

A GOOD OCASION TO REMEMBER ME HOW A GREAT FILM DIRECTOR JOSEPH LOSEY WAS. A GREAT FILM. MAYBE DELON'S BEST PERFORMANCE.

Movie Review: Doppleganger
Summary: 5 Stars

Mr Klein got a rough ride from the critics, but it's every bit as impressive as I remembered it being. In many ways it's a classic Doppelganger plot, but by placing it in the run-up to Vichy France's deportation of the Jews (ascribed entirely to the French here: while we see their officials silently preparing throughout the film, it's more than a hour before we see a single German uniform, and then only in a cabaret audience). It even makes Klein's mounting obsession with the other Mr Klein (only once fleetingly glanced from behind by a completely disinterested camera) credible as it becomes stronger than his will to survive. Impressive.

The only extras are the US trailer and sleeve notes.

Movie Review: DOUBLE MR. KLEIN MR. DOUBLE
Summary: 5 Stars

***** 1976. Directed by Joseph Losey. Three French Academy awards (Best Film, Best Director, Best Production Design) in 1977. In a Kafkaian Paris, Alain Delon meets his destiny during the winter of 1942. Losey gets onto such themes as paranoia and schizophrenia with maestria and Mr. KLEIN deserves to stay in your library. Masterpiece.

Summary of Mr. Klein [VHS]

How can state-sponsored bigotry destroy the life of an "ordinary" citizen, one whose heritage should exempt him from such policies? The eponymous Mr. Klein (Alain Delon), a suave, single, wealthy Parisian art dealer, finds out. It's 1942, the Nazis have occupied Paris, and Jews are being arrested and shipped to Germany. The lucky ones obtain false passports and flee the country. Robert Klein, whose family has been "French and Catholic since Louis XIV," is taking advantage of the situation by buying up Jewish family heirlooms at rock-bottom prices. Then one morning a Jewish newspaper appears on his doorstep, addressed to Robert Klein. The fact that he received mail intended for another Parisian Robert Klein--this one a Jew--must be a simple mistake. But is it?

Mr. Klein becomes obsessed with finding his Jewish alter ego, finally falling into a trap from which it is impossible to escape. Directed by Joseph Losey, who confronted prejudice in The Boy with Green Hair, and written by Franco Solinas, coauthor with Costa-Gavras of such classics of political intrigue as State of Siege, Mr. Klein is haunting and suspenseful: an exciting thriller with real substance. --Laura Mirsky
