Brandauer faces the same dilema, though his predicament is given the added irony of him being an actor, a person assumed to lack an identity.

At an Austrian military academy, Alfred Redl (Klaus Maria Brandauer), a Catholic with Jewish roots, forms a friendship with aristocrat Kristof von Kubinyi (Jan Niklas) and his sister, Katalin (Gudrun Landgrebe).
Brandauer, in the paradoxical role of Redl, the military man with secrets who’s in charge of investigating others, gives a tremendous performance--the equal of his riveting role in MEPHISTO, which, along with HANUSSEN, forms a thematic trilogy.
Only an actor of Brandauer’s superb emotive control could project, in almost imperceptibly shifting facial expressions, a palpable sense of a young boy who has become a sad man watching an entire empire about to be swept away.

 eBay - VHS: Mephisto (UPC: 017153591736)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In MEPHISTO, an ambitious and talented actor (Klaus Maria Brandauer) on the verge of success marries the daughter of an important official in pre-World War II Germany in order to further his career.
Based on a novel by Klaus Mann, the son of Thomas Mann, MEPHISTO, like Visconti’s THE DAMNED, which showed the culpability of industrialists in their support of Hitler, dramatically shows the self-deceptive and ultimately evil acts of an artist making his own Faustian bargain.
Klaus Mann's source novel was based on the true story of actor Gustav Gründgens.

From the moment they are taken on board, the thugs and their leader Caspary (Robert Duvall) are at war with the crew and Captain Miller for control of the lightship.

 Out of Africa: Collector's Edition (1987)
Directed by Oscar winner Sydney Pollack, Out of Africa is the fascinating true story of Karen Blixen, a strong-willed woman who, with her philandering husband (Klaus Maria Brandauer), runs a coffee plantation in Kenya, circa 1914.
Pollack relates that he hired Brandauer for this role as a scoundrel and philanderer after he saw him in the James Bond film Never Say Never Again; he felt that Brandauer was able to play a terrible person who nonetheless seems likable to the audience, qualities he feels came through in Bror.
No slam on Brandauer, but I always thought Bror was a complete jerk and I never felt the slightest affection for him; the character comes across very poorly, despite whatever the intentions may have been.

 Hanussen
Szabó’s two follow-ups with Brandauer and cinematographer Lajos Koltai, Colonel Redl (1984), the story of a German officer court-martialled for his homosexuality, and Hanussen, were both also nominated for Academy Awards.
An earlier version of Hanussen from 1955 stars Klaus Kinski as a more manic wide-eyed prophet, Karl Schroeder, haunted by premonitions since he was shot in the head during WWI.
Klaus Maria Brandauer, in an outstanding performance equal to his Mephisto, is a much more controlled and multi-layered Schroeder who, as Szabó’s idealised vision of the Individual, appears swamped by the tides of history, powerful forces that are within his sight but outside of his grasp.

 "Druids" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
Vercingetorix (played as an adult by Christopher Lambert) is able to reestablish his rightful title as chieftain of Gergovia, and from there, he attempts to unite all of the tribes together to keep Julius Caesar's (Klaus Maria Brandauer) Roman army from slowly taking over all of Gaul.
In viewing this film, it is best to keep in mind that, despite what the American DVD box conveys (it was probably written by someone who hadn't even seen the film), Druids is not attempting to be the next Braveheart.
Klaus Maria Brandauer's Caesar is a man who seems so occupied with his quest to be emperor of Rome, his participation in this war is just a nuisance.

Becoming Colette is a biographical account of the early years in the career of French author Gabrielle Colette (Mathilda May), the writer of such novels as La Vagabonde and Cheri.
Unfortunately, too many wrong choices were made and the end result is a limp, lifeless film that boasts only one scene (the climax) of genuine strength and impact.
Klaus Maria Brandauer, normally an effective villain, is effete in Becoming Colette.
