Mr. Klein

American director Joseph Losey made his last masterpiece with this French thriller produced by Alain Delon who also stars. The story of an art dealer who makes money buying art off Jews during the Nazi occupation of Paris. When a Jewish namesake crosses his path, his whole life is jeopardized when he sets out to find him. Gripping from the first frame till the last, Losey delivers a sublime film that touches on many levels without losing focus for a second. Alain Delon gives one of his best performances as the Kafkaesque character of the title. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
