Mephisto (1981) DVD | István Szabó | Region 2

A gripping European psychological drama about ambition, identity, and moral compromise, powerful, unsettling, and brilliantly acted.

Some items on Kate's Treasures15 are chosen because they are beautiful or useful. Some are here because they meant something to my dad. He was an actor, a scriptwriter, and a serious collector of films and books that had something to say. This is one of those pieces.

This film hits because it is not just about politics or history, it is about the quiet, personal choices that shape who we become. It watches a talented man move step by step into compromise, and it never lets you look away from the cost.

If you like cinema that is psychologically sharp and morally challenging, you will love this. It is the kind of film that makes you ask uncomfortable questions about success, survival, and what we trade to get what we want.
