      Harry K 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/09/23 Full Review jbriskey1 Unintelligible undecipherable drivel. Art film at its worst. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member My first viewing of "Mr. Klein" was a frustrating and underwhelming experience; I had seen a film which felt dreary and lethargic, and I hadn't fully grasped the details of the story. My second viewing proved more fruitful, in that I appreciated to a greater extent the ominous sense of dread that builds unobtrusively over the course of the film's understated events. Much of the film's strengths derive from its undercurrent of foreboding doom, and when we're able to tap into it, we sense the Kafkaesque infusion of paranoia that fully animates the events on the screen. In truth, viewing "Mr. Klein" has the subtle feel of an academic exercise, in that its appeal derives from the ability to recognize the preceding material comprising its source inspiration. That being said, Losey surely succeeds in crafting an intense vision of alienation intertwined with the bleak consequences of personal obsession. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review pierluigi p Kafka-esque labyrinthine plot of mistaken identity in Nazi occupied France. Intriguing and fascinating. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member 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.

      Budd Wilkins Slant Magazine This unique vision of war-torn France under the Occupation mixes political thriller and surreal fable in a heady brew. May 11, 2022 Full Review Danny Leigh Financial Times A masterpiece of identity crisis - a mesmeric cat-and-mouse played out in dreadful, ever-lengthening shadows. Rated: 5/5 Apr 29, 2020 Full Review Philip Strick Sight & Sound [Director Joseph] Losey has created a wholly admirable work of art. Mar 19, 2020 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com "Mr. Klein" is a haunting film for the reflexive dichotomy it shares between the dystopia of World War II France, and the totalitarian existence we experience today. Rated: FIVE STARS Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com The icy gaze of Alain Delon suggests a predator on the verge of extinction, a primordial hierarchy blinding him to his own mortality, and the actor’s inherent coldness furthers the sense of distaste framing the characterization. Rated: 4/5 Oct 5, 2022 Full Review Niall Browne Movies in Focus Joseph Losey's French drama, Mr Klein (Monsieur Klein) is a quietly understated WWII thriller which features a powerful-yet-subdued performance from Alain Delon in the title role.
