"Mephisto"
1981
Directed by Istvan Szabo

Klaus Maria Brandauer stars as an actor in pre-war Germany whose quest for success leads him to subordinate everything--political conviction, human relationships, artistic ambition. He is ultimately drawn into a poisonous circle of evil from which he can no longer escape. Academy-Award winner (Best Foreign Language Film) German with English subtitles. 144 minutes.
