Robert Klein (Alain Delon) is an unscrupulous art dealer in occupied France, who buys paintings at knocked down prices from desperate jews looking for some quick cash to aid their escape, this is a golden opportunity for Klein to live the high life at their expense. Klein is disturbed when he receives a Jewish newspaper at his home. A chance error by a Jewish newspaper sees Klein in trouble with the authorities as they believe he is a jew, Klein has to hurry to prove he is French and that its all a big mistake and that there is another Mr Klein. What follows is a delightful Kafkaesue play on identity and mis-identity, that becomes ever more labyrinthine and confusing, but always spellbinding.
Review of Mr. Klein
