Following his role in '' Mephisto '' , Brandauer appeared as Maximillian Largo in '' Never Say Never Again '' ( 1983 ) , a remake of the 1965 James Bond film '' Thunderball '' . Roger Ebert said of his performance : " For one thing , there 's more of a human element in the movie , and it comes from Klaus Maria Brandauer , as Largo . Brandauer is a wonderful actor , and he chooses not to play the villain as a cliché . Instead , he brings a certain poignancy and charm to Largo , and since Connery always has been a particularly human James Bond , the emotional stakes are more convincing this time . " He starred in '' Out of Africa '' ( 1985 ) , opposite Meryl Streep and Robert Redford , for which he was nominated for an Oscar and won a Golden Globe , and Szabó 's '' Oberst Redl '' ( 1985 ) . In 1987 , he was the Head of the Jury at the 37th Berlin International Film Festival
