| Transcript | Films FEBRUARY 14, 1986/MONTROSE VOICE 17 Alfred Redl (Klaus Maria Brandaver) accuses his young lover Alfredo Velocchio (Laszlo Galffi) of being part of a growing conspiracy against him in "Colonel Redl." will be assassinated (1914) and World War II will start. Redl is one of the few officers who remain faithful to his emperor, but his loyalty and confidence in the Archduke (heir to the throne) may be misplaced. The Archduke has Redl spy on his own men in order to find a man to put on trial as warning to rebellious troops. Actually, the Archduke has set up Redl himself as the patsy, and the Colonel becomes caught in his own web of homosexuality and deceit. A young man he becomes involved with turns out to be an enemy spy, and Redl is ruined. This film is based partly on fact, but the secret life of Alfred Redl was never fully known. He did commit suicide in 1913, probably because of being blackmailed for his sexual preference. Colonel Redl is an attempt to show how a man can rise to power, and then slowly lose it through his own weaknesses. While the gay aspect of Redl is fairly overt, it is not dwelled upon. Instead of so much military and historical background, it would have been much more interesting to delve deeper into the personal background and relationships of Redl. The film does little to examine the man', love affairs, and it seems so important. A rather long film that may bore many with historical relevance. Colonel Redl is nonetheless fascinating with Brandauer's standout performance. We watch helplessly as a man climbs to success, and then crumbles down with the very notion that he has supported and defended. Once more homosexuality is used against someone, and they suffer because of what they are.
