You can stream Mr. Klein (1976) on Criterion Channel with a subscription.

Paris, France, 1942, during the Nazi occupation. Robert Klein, a successful art dealer who benefits from the misfortunes of those who are ruthlessly persecuted, discovers by chance that there is another Robert Klein, apparently a Jewish man; someone with whom he could be mistakenly identified, something dangerous in such harsh times.

Occupied Paris provides a suffocating backdrop for this psychological game of identity and survival. An opportunistic art dealer finds his comfortable life collapsing when a namesake with a dangerous Jewish identity emerges from the shadows.
