Since Redl left no known detailed confession of the activities of his final days, the so-called "accepted account" has followed from the contentious and perhaps sensationalized account of Egon Erwin Kisch ("Der Fall des General-Stabschefs Redl" 15-21; "The Case of the Chief of the General Staff Redl" 167-73), the first reporter on the case.
Redl is also fair to Dr. Sonnenschein, to whom he is very friendly, conveying to us that he is not anti-Semitic, and thus aligning himself with the liberalizations of the Emperor.
Redl is not presented as scheming, his character is never given that degree of interiority that Szabó in his statements continually wishes to grant him.

Oberst Redl was in 1925 al het onderwerp van een bioscoopfilm.
Het beeld van Oberst Redl is vrij somber, met veel grijs, grauw en blauw, allemaal gedempt tot niet veel meer dan een zwart/wit-palet.
Oberst Redl is een kostuumdrama, een historische evocatie en vooral het boeiend en aangrijpend relaas van een mensenleven ten dienste van een hoger doel.

 Amazon.com: Colonel Redl: DVD: Klaus Maria Brandauer,Hans Christian Blech,Armin Mueller-Stahl,Gudrun Landgrebe,Jan ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
When the film begins, Alfred Redl is a small boy of Ukrainian peasant extraction, and his family is 'honoured' by the emperor's acceptance of little Redl into a strict military school.
This ensures Redl's eventual career as a military officer in the Empire, and Redl's hellish life at school is eased by his close relationship to Kristof Kubinyi (Jan Niklas), a boy from a noble family.
Redl rises quickly in the ranks--due mainly to patronage from Colonel von Roden (Hans Christian Blech) who admires Redl's strict approach and unquestioning loyalty to the Empire.

 Colonel Redl featuring Klaus Maria Brandauer & Hans-Christian Blech Movie and DVD page on ARTISTdirect
Oberst Redl is the latest movie version of an oft-filmed tale, based on a true story.
Redl (Klaus Maria Brandauer), a poverty-stricken Ukrainian of the early 20th century, laboriously works his way into the highest circles of the Imperial Austrian Army.
Playing one country against the other, Redl enjoys the sexual and monetary favors from both sides of the espionage spectrum until word of his gayness leaks out and he is flmailed.

 Alfred Redl - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Redl is thought to have passed a great deal of information to the Russian Okhrana, including plans for a future Austro-Hungarian offensive against Serbia.
When informed of his exposure, Redl committed suicide by gunshot, which was regretted both by Emperor Franz Josef, who would have preferred that Redl avoid dying in mortal sin, and by Austrian Intelligence, which would have preferred to interrogate him on the exact extent of his betrayal.
Redl's treason is thought to have contributed to the defeats Austria-Hungary suffered in the early months of World War I, since the plans for the attack on Serbia were quite complete and could not easily be changed in the time between Redl's suicide and the onset of the war.

Redl's homosexuality is made explicit, while David Lean's film only hints at Lawrence's orientation.
One of "Redl"'s great strengths is its convincing portrayal of conscious, yet suppressed, homosexuality in an earlier historical context.
While a scene of Redl watching the handsome Kubinyi have sex with a prostitute, and a later scene with his own male lover are without ambiguity.

 Der Fall Des General Stabs-Oberst Redl - Synopsis - Moviefone
Playing both sides of the fence, Redl also accepts gratuities from his fellow Austrians to get the goods on "undesirables" from within.
As a member of the "lower orders," Redl feels that he could never have cracked the aristocratic upper circles of the European military without resorting to treachery.
The real Redl's homosexuality is not an issue in this film, though it certainly would be in Istvan Szabo's 1985 production Colonel Redl (not a remake of the 1931 film, but instead adapted from John Osborne's A Patriot for Me).

But when Redl is sent to spy on the Russian Empire, his espionage is compromised by his secret double life as a homosexual.

 Colonel Redl (1984) - Channel 4 Film review
The second of the trilogy of films from the Hungarian filmmaker István Szabó, handsomely photographed by Lajos Koltai and starring the remarkable Klaus Maria Brandauer, deals, like Mephisto (1981) and Hanussen (1988), with a flawed hero struggling to come to terms with implacable and malign powers that be.
Based on John Osborne's play 'A Patriot for Me', though darker and cooler, the film shows how Redl, head of military intelligence to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, deals with a double life: this exemplary civil servant is also both homosexual and Jewish.
Despite Redl's rise throught the ranks of empire, he realises he will always be treated with suspicion by the powers that be, and the film ends up an extraordinary account of a man's self betrayal.

Istvan Szabo in his turn explains very detailed - in perfect English and on demand in German - why he wanted to make that movie by all means with Ralph Fiennes.
And he is absolutely normal - like the people in the audience." That fits to the certain weakness and delicay of all men in Szabo's movies - there is the actor in "Mephisto" who dares to get too close to the Nazis, or "Oberst Redl" who is too ambitous.
In "The Taste of Sunshine" only the women keep their brains cool and the family together during the changes of politics, says Szabo.

 Colonel Redl - Rotten Tomatoes
Despite Redl's constant fear of exposure as a Jew or a homosexual, he rises to the rank of colonel.
As the Austro-Hungarian empire crumbles from within in the heady days before World War I, he is placed in charge of internal military intelligence in Vienna, where he is drawn into the Byzantine schemes of the archduke, who may be plotting to start a war.
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.

 Sample: István Szabó
Further coproductions followed — Colonel Redl (Oberst Redl / Redl ezredes, 1984) and Hanussen (1988).
His films during the 1980s take a step further thematically; the setting moves to Nazi Germany in Mephisto and ranges across the expanses of Central Europe in Colonel Redl and Hanussen.
These three films constitute a "Central European trilogy" that makes a complex statement about the cultural affinity of that rather ill-defined region the Germans call Mitteleuropa.
