Movie Reviews of Mephisto
Movie Review: Challenging film about the rise of Nazism
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A fascinating movie about the rise of an actor short on talent but skilled at ingratiating himself with the up and coming Nazi party in 1930s Germany, Mephisto features a very good performance by Klaus Maria Brandauer as the actor whose only successful role (as Mephisto in a stage version of Faust) works because selling his soul hits so close to home; a sometimes slow but very rewarding film, Mephisto won a deserved Best Foreign Language Oscar and is no less impressive today.
3.5/4
