Robert Klein Port Aransas
Cinestudio presents the 4k Ultra HD restoration of a French psychological thriller set during the Nazi Occupation, directed by Joseph Losey, an American Communists sympathizer who was hounded into exile in 1951. Monsieur Klein, played by Alain Delon (The Leopard), is a Parisian art dealer, making a tidy profit from Jews, buying their paintings for a pittance. However, he is dismayed to end up suspected by the authorities, who have confused him with a different Robert Klein – a Jewish Resistance fighter. Delon decides to ‘clear his name’ by tracking down his doppelganger, in a dark time of fear and betrayal. Losey’s masterpiece is an ominous mystery filled with Kafkaesque paranoia and the identity confusion of the best Hitchcock films. Winner of France’s Cesar Awards for Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor.
“Mr. Klein remains as strong and thought-provoking a film today as it was over 40 years ago.” — Mitchell Abidor, Jewish Currents
