The post Joseph Losey – The Servant (1963) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

In Nazi-occupied Paris, the immoral art dealer, Robert Klein, leads a life of luxury, until a copy of a Jewish newspaper brings him to the attention of the police, linking him with a mysterious doppelgänger. Will Mr Klein clear his name?

Quote:
★★★★ Watched by Stephen M 30 Aug 2020

This one crept up on me. Initially I felt somewhat removed as I watched it. Partly because the eponymous character played by Alain Delon himself is so removed and emotionless. But you gradually come to realize that this is intentional, that he is in fact representing the detachment and lack of concern of many French citizens regarding the targeting and removal of the Jews from Vichy France. And by the end of the film it was indeed horrifying to see this done without outcry or resistance.

A mystery with a doppelganger theme, Delon plays “Mr. Klein”, an art dealer profiting on the desperation of Jews eager to flee the country. He learns early in the film that a Jewish man with the same name and appearance is using Delon as a decoy to avoid detection. For the remainder of the film, Delon seeks to find and uncover his double so as to convince the authorities of his non-Jewish heritage. He and his friends are concerned about his plight but seemingly less concerned about the overall situation..

The film is interspersed with disturbing reminders of how French Jews were seen as the “other” – the opening scene when a doctor examines a woman as he would a horse to detect Semitic traits (we later learn he’s a vet rather than a MD), a music hall performance where the audience laughs at and reviles a cruelly stereotypical portrayal, and the final harrowing scene where Mr. Klein realizes he is doomed in spite of all his efforts.

Good acting, including the smaller roles, including Jeanne Moreau as a wealthy woman. Delon has played this type of cool character before but mostly in crime films. Here the sociopathy is societal rather than tied to the criminal world and it’s ultimately chilling. Finally the depiction of 1940s Paris (sets, costumes, hairstyles, music) is perfectly done.

Quote:
Ex-con Johnny (Stanley Baker) used his time in prison wisely – to plan the biggest robbery of his career. The robbery goes smoothly and Johnny goes to bury the money in a field until the heat is off, as agreed with friend and racketeer Mike Carter (Sam Wanamaker) and the rest of the gang. In a moment of weakness, Johnny pockets five hundred odd pounds from the haul. Coupled with a tip-off from his ex-girlfriend (Jill Bennett) this proves to be his undoing and Johnny is soon back in prison. The rest of the gang try in vain to get the location of the money out of him without success until Mike hits upon the idea of a break-out using Johnny’s new love Suzanne (Margit Saad) as bait.

Challenged by a new student, tutor and theorist Galileo co-opts emerging telescope technology and discovers irrefutable proof of the heretical notion that the earth is not the center of the universe. But in a rigid society ruled by an uneasy alliance of aristocracy and clergy already undermined by the Plague and the Reformation, science is a threat and enlightenment is a luxury. Faced with either death at the hands of the Inquisition or recantation to a hypocritical but all-powerful Papacy, Galileo must choose between his own life and the restless scientific curiosity that he has spurned family, friends, and wealth to pursue.
