Winner of Best Foreign Language Film at the 1982 Academy Awards and nominated for a Palme d'Or at Cannes, Istvan Szabo's "Mephisto" follows a passionate, but struggling actor (Klaus Maria Brandauer) 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.
