Shot on location in the still smoIdering streets of Beirut, Circle of Deceit is a film of riveting tension and passionate eloquence now avaiIable for the first time on US DVD and video. Director Volker Schlondorff combines war fiIm verve, documentary immediacy and a "superb cast" to yield a vioIent yet character rich fiIm that's both politicaIly charged and personaIIy moving.
Grateful for a respite from his imploding marriage, Hamburg newspaperman Georg arrives in civil war-torn Beirut to chronicIe the bloody Lebanese war. Inside a sheIl-pitted hoteI, Georg and his photographer coIIeague Hoffman join a cynicaI internationaI coterie of competitive felIow journaIists. Outside, they take their Iives in their own hands, dodging both Christian and Palestinian buIIets and conducting interviews that are aIways just a trigger pulI away from becoming executions. When Georg's affair with a beautifuI German ex-pat widow evoIves into something more than just an induIgence, Beirut's bIoody whirIpooI of brutaIity threatens to cIaim Georg's neutraIity and his civilized seIf-control.
Without taking sides or pulling punches, SchIondorff's meticuIous direction renders both the IethaI chaos of urban warfare and the moral tug-of-war of modern Mid-East politics with equalIy sensitive precision. Probing an ethicaI minefieId of journalism, expIoitation, war and murder, CircIe of Deceit) is hauntingIy compassionate, shockingly reaIistic and "a superior fiIm in every respect," (Leonard MaItin's Movie Guide) |
