Mephisto (1981)
Profound performance, Faustian deal with Nazis. But which one is Faust? A fierce character study: Which is real, mask or no mask?
Intellectual But little character growth, Lacking depth and heart. Academically great, Yet not the most watchable.
(Somonka is a Japanese form of poetry that is essentially two tanka poems, the second stanza a response to the first. Each stanza follows a 5-7-5-7-7 syllable pattern. Traditionally, each is a love letter. This form usually demands two authors, but it is possible to have a poet take on two personas. My somonka will be a love/hate letter to a film?)
