Dozens of warships steamed across the Bay of Naples, and, like precision swimmers, 85 submarines dived beneath the water, resurfacing eight minutes later in perfect formation to fire an eleven-gun tribute to their Nazi guest. It was a dazzling display from a master of spectacle, but like most other things Benito Mussolini did, this muscle flexing was little more than an act: two years later, after a few disastrous encounters with Britain's Royal Navy, his impressive-looking fleet cowered in port...

The style could not be more surprising. One has come to expect material of this kind to be set forth in a tone of grim and stately foreboding. Instead, Mephisto, a Hungarian-German coproduction that richly deserved its Oscar as this year's Best Foreign Film, moves with a feverish back-staginess, a rushing, unbalancing energy that not only freshens one's historical imagination but finally forces the viewer to turn...
