Istvan #Szabo’s brilliant 1981 film parable “Mephisto,” using the Faust legend to consider Nazification, is being re-released. I was lucky enough to see a subtitled version in the 90s, but the US release shown most often on TV was horribly dubbed. See the re-release if you can; it is a film for our moment far more than for the 80s. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/dec/18/istvan-szabo-nazi-actor-mephisto #film #politics #Nazis
