Plot: Mr Klein is an art dealer living a good life in Germany-occupied France. Out of the blue, a newspaper marks him as a Jewish person. It turns out there's someone with the same name and very similar looks as Klein running around, the only way Mr. Klein can clear his name is to find his doppelgänger.

A slow, dry, and deliberate film. It's not that I can't appreciate this type of cinema, but details are excruciatingly important and I think an even more stylized version had made a much bigger impact. In its current form, it felt like the worst of both worlds, though there are still remnants of an interesting film here.
Delon isn't entirely convincing as the lead and the presentation is rather dim and uninviting. The central mystery is interesting enough and Klein's search for his doppelgänger kept me engaged throughout, it's just that it didn't take me anywhere of worth. Not the worst film, but not one that will stay with me.
