Mr. Klein

Every scene in the movie is filled with chilly dread until it becomes a full throated nightmare.

This film is well-written, well acted, supremely suspenseful and quite entertaining. I love the method used to tell the story in the beginning. They tell you what's going on without telling you. This is during World War II and the Jewish people living in France are under quite a bit of scrutiny. Some of them leaving, as we see with the gentleman selling the painting. The plot is confusing at times and the film's end is open-ended. A great film nonetheless. 94/100

One of the most interesting, and complex films about the Holocaust, and life during Vichy France...very important to viewers in helping convey the idea of the Holocaust as a story of perpetrators, victims and bystanders...truly a warning to contemporary liberals, ambivalent non-politicals, or amoral opportunists how quickly the thresher of fascism grinds up society...an important film, well-worth your time.

Unintelligible undecipherable drivel. Art film at its worst.

This is a vaguely Kafkaesque tale of mistaken identity mixed with the plot of The Third Man, where the other, Jewish Mr. Klein is Harry Lime, and our Mr Klein, who is seeking him, is always one step behind. It's about as fun as a Holocaust-set film can be.

A masterful depiction of a man's personal identity disintegrating under the discriminatory judgements of his society. Everything - mood, colour, music, setting - comes together superbly to produce a film as searingly relevant today as it was in Occupied France. All crowned by an outstanding Alain Delon performance.

Joseph Losey, senaryoya imza atan Franco Solinas, Fernando Morandi sayesinde bir gizemin peşinde seyirciyi de sürüklüyor. İşgal altındaki Fransa'da Yahudilerin çaresizce sattığı eserleri ucuza alan sanat simsarı Mr. Klein'in rahat hayatının, bir anda bir isim benzerliği ile değişmesinin ve gizemin, Kaderi Arayan Adam'ın hikayesi. Yavaş yavaş Yahudi Klein'ın izlerini takip ederken onun hayatını deneyimlemeye başlar.

Fairly suspenseful till the very end.

"Good Luck to you, M-I-S-T-E-R Klein." If anyone has seen Alain Delon's Le Samourai,please do check this in a favor of him.Another underrated French Cinema,don't miss it.

The topic of identity is very difficult to explore. Obsession is another tough challenge to adapt. Merge them together and add Delon's most complex performance. A thorough character study with undertones of social critique ensues, arguably Losey's definitive triumph in cinema. 93/100
