Product Description

Synopsis

Set in Paris, 1942. Catholic antique dealer Klein is making large profits from Jews fleeing the country who are forced to sell their works of art. Somehow his identity becomes confused with that of a Jew of the same name. Although acutely aware of the danger, Klein is compelled to assume the other's identity. French dialogue with English subtitles.

5.0 out of 5 stars A deeply menacing film, 18 Oct 2002
By Mr. C. Cullen "chrisbattersea" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a brilliant film this is - it really deserves to be better known. Alain Delon plays M. Klein, a rather self-satisfied member of the bourgeoisie who is mistaken for another M Klein (a Jew) in Nazi occupied France. Events move so fast that he (and the viewer) always seem one step behind. The period detail of (I assume) Paris is beautiful. The film is full of shadows and half lit events, suspicions, unspoken thoughts and mystery. There is a wonderful scene where M Klein receives an invitation intended for the other M Klein and finds himself being driven through the fog to a huge chateau where he encounters Jeanne Moreau. Small details (the other M Klein played the flute) take on weird significance. This is nightmare territory and I was left thanking god that that period of history is behind us. The film is beautifully constructed, spare and haunting. I can't recommend it enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doppleganger, 1 Dec 2007
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Mr. Klein [DVD] [1976] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)
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 takes on a wider significance. 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.
