The Magus

A British schoolteacher, Nicholas, has left his girlfriend to take a job on a small island in Greece, replacing a man who committed suicide under mysterious circumstances. Nicholas meets Conchis, The Magus (meaning magician), a wealthy recluse with a mysterious past that might include collaboration with the Nazis. The Magus's companion, Lily, is just as suspicious, lurking around in a ghostly state of paranoia. Nicholas is drawn into a bizarre game masterminded by this magician. The deeper into the game he is drawn, the more he senses danger.
