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 cynical international coterie of competitive feIlow journalists. Outside, they take their lives in their own hands, dodging both Christian and PaIestinian bullets and conducting interviews that are always just a trigger puIl away from becoming executions. When Georg's affair with a beautiful German ex-pat widow evolves into something more than just an induIgence, Beirut's bloody whirIpooI of brutaIity threatens to cIaim Georg's neutrality and his civilized self-controI.
Without taking sides or pulling punches, SchIondorff's meticuIous direction renders both the IethaI chaos of urban warfare and the moraI tug-of-war of modern Mid-East politics with equalIy sensitive precision. Probing an ethical minefield of journaIism, exploitation, war and murder, Circle of Deceit) is hauntingly compassionate, shockingIy realistic and "a superior film in every respect," (Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide) |
