Alain Delon’s “Robert Klein” isn’t exactly a collaborator in Nazi-occupied Paris, but he isn’t going out of his way not to profit under the Vichy regime either. Then one day a beaurocratic error (or is it?) confuses him with a Jewish Robert Klein who nobody can seem to find. Klein has to go undercover to find Klein and “clear his name.” Sorta Garden of Finzi-Continis meets Brazil with some Eyes Wide Shut in there, too. Most remarkable is the day-to-day of Vichy Paris, down to the doctors who would examine your teeth and head to see if you are actually of hidden Jewish stock.
