Mr. Klein

2h 2m 1976

Brief Synopsis

Read More
Paris, 1942. Robert Klein cannot find any fault with the state of affairs in German-occupied France. He has a well-furnished flat, a mistress, and business is booming. Jews facing discrimination because of laws edicted by the French government are desperate to sell valuable works of art - and it is easy for him to get them at bargain prices. His cosy life is disrupted when he realizes that there is another Robert Klein in Paris - a Jew with a rather mysterious behaviour. Very soon, this homonymy attracts the close - and menacing - attention of the police on the established art trader.

Synopsis

Robert Klein, a womanizing antique dealer, remains untouched by the German occupation of Paris and indifferent to the fate of Jews under Nazi rule--until he's confused with another Robert Klein, a fugitive and a Jew. As he gets caught in the web of mistaken identity, Klein grows obsessed with finding his doppelganger, and eventually assumes his identity.
