In 1981, the Hungarian director Istvan Szabo put the famous novel Mephistopheles by the German writer Klaus Mann on the screen 40 years ago. At that time, the original author had passed away for 30 years, and the famous German actor Gustaf Gründgens, who was mapped in the original work, also...

Hungary's Oscar BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM winner, directed by István Szabó, one of the country's most eminent filmmakers, unlike most pictures depicting a pre-WWII Germany from the standpoint of the dreaded persecuted, like Rainer Werner Fassbinder's DESPAIR (1978), MEPHISTO skews it to an...

After watching the old movies for a long time, I began to get used to the atmosphere, the texture of the film, the dramatic colors, lighting and performances.

The story is simple to tell, and the ups and downs also took a lot of thought, and there is a degree of relaxation. He did not hesitate to...

The film "Mephisto, 2017" vividly       shows the fragility of an actor. Hoffgen was a simple, even ambitious and virtuous man, but the times turned him into a complex man. In terms of characterization, I think it is even on the same level as Louis Mahler's "Lacombe Lucien".       But there's a...

From a personal preference point of view, I don't like Klaus Maria Brandauer's overly dramatic style of acting, or the stage style of acting. But it is fair to say that for this film, his performance is perfect, and he interprets the complexity of the role of Hendrik Hoefgen (Mephisto) extremely...

1. Hendrik Höfgen, a German actor during the Nazi period, was loved by the Nazi chief minister for his role as the devil Mephistopheles in Goethe's "Faust". All I can say is that the guy who played Höfgen did a really good job, especially the soft sycophancy that came naturally. On stage, Höfgen...

After listening to the dubbed version of Shanghai Translation Factory in Yesha's program, I remembered it for a long time. As an honest liberal arts student, I insist that all things like social philosophy are floating clouds, and only literature and religion are eternal. Listen to the sonorous...

The film is based on the 1936 novel of the same name by Klaus Mann, the son of the famous German writer and Nobel Prize winner Thomas Mann. This work was completed during Hitler's rise to power in 1933 and Klaus Mann's exile as an anti-Nazi writer. Based on the German actor Gustaf Gründgens, the...

    This film is so good that I can't get enough of it after watching it once, and I feel that I can only understand it more deeply if I am very familiar with German culture and Goethe's "Faust". ) is famous in Germany, and his performances are amazing, especially on stage, with a maddeningly...
