Mephisto
Drama
A German stage actor finds unexpected success and mixed blessings in the popularity of his performance in a Faustian play as the Nazis take power in pre-WWII Germany. As his associates and friends flee or are ground under by the Nazi terror, the popularity of his character supercedes his own existence until he finds that his best performance is keeping up appearances for his Nazi patrons.
The 1981 Academy Award-winning Mephisto concerns a passionate, but struggling actor who remains in Germany during the Nazi regime and reaps the rewards of this Faustian pact by finally achieving the stardom he has long craved.

NOTE: Some actors are dubbed and their voice may not match lip movement. The Kino blu-ray has both German and Hungarian audio tracks but my source remux only had German so that's the only track I can provide. Note from the remuxer: "The original audio is German (main actor spoke in German which is remembered as his best performance), the Hungarian audio is considered a dub. Also on the Kino BD, the English translation is for the German audio as it won't match many times what is said in Hungarian."
