Dass in Klaus Manns Tagebuchnotizen in jenen ersten Exilwochen gleichwohl ein depressiver Unterton unverkennbar ist, war denn auch nur bedingt auf seine Flucht aus Deutschland zurückzuführen und auf die Tatsache, dass der latente Krisenzustand, der in den letzten Monaten in Deutschland so an seinen Nerven gezerrt hatte, nun ein denkbar böses Ende genommen hatte.

 village voice > film > Escape to Life: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story by Ed Halter
Andrea Weiss and Wieland Speck's Escape to Life: The Erika and Klaus Mann Story (Quad, opens January 11) chronicles the careers of Thomas Mann's oldest children, both gay actor-writers who performed anti-Fascist cabaret and found themselves in exile during World War II, like many German artists and intellectuals of the period.
Though much of the duo's art has been forgotten outside Germany, their memory lives on in a few bits of cinematic trivia: Klaus penned the autobiographical novel Mephisto, the basis of the 1981 film by Istvan Szabo, while Erika starred in Madchen in Uniform (1931).
Escape to Life's halfhearted attempts at nontraditional form are hobbled by mainstream TV production values, with standard stock-footage illustrations clumsily married to scripted docudrama re-enactments of the siblings' lives.
