  1. Yesterday, I watched a forgotten movie from 1976 called Mr. Klein, a kafkaesque thriller set in Nazi occupied Paris before the round up, deportation, and murder of French Jews.

    Alain Delon plays a not Jewish art dealer named Robert Klein. He buys art at bargain prices from Jews who need quick cash. At the start of the movie, there is a mix up with a Jewish Robert Klein and the whole thing goes from there. The movie is a very slow boil of fear, anxiety, obsession leading to bad decisions, and a dark karmic irony.

    I am not really sure how this one fell into the forgotten territory but it is streaming on Criterion.Report
