The Keep

1h 35m
Directed by Michael Mann • 1983 • United Kingdom
Starring Scott Glenn, Alberta Watson, Jürgen Prochnow
Michael Mann’s infamous film maudit—met with incomprehension on its release but now an object of growing critical and cult reputation—unfolds in 1943 in German-occupied Romania, where Nazi invaders unwittingly unleash a sinister presence lurking within the walls of an ancient fortress in the Carpathian Alps— a presence that doesn’t take kindly to unwanted guests. Despite a notoriously troubled production and studio interference (the director’s original cut ran 210 minutes), THE KEEP stands as a darkly ravishing triumph of trance-state mood and visuals, enhanced by an otherworldly synth score by Tangerine Dream.
