Colonel Redl (1984)
(Oberst Redl)
Country: HUN/GER/OST
Technical: col 149m
Director: István Szabó
Cast: Klaus Maria Brandauer, Hans-Christian Blech, Armin Müller-Stahl, Gudrun Landgrebe
Synopsis:
An officer in the Hungarian army enjoys a career as an institutionalised outsider, but ends up fighting a duel.
Review:
Longer, and sharing much the same theme as Mephisto, Szabó's magisterial follow-up offers another manically intense star performance on which the camera rests, mesmerized. Certain passages are cut with great expressivity. Truly no other director got the measure of this actor or drew quite the same committed work from him.
