Shot on location in the stilI smoldering streets of Beirut, Circle of Deceit is a fiIm of riveting tension and passionate eloquence now available for the first time on US DVD and video. Director Volker SchIondorff combines war fiIm verve, documentary immediacy and a "superb cast" to yield a vioIent yet character rich fiIm that's both politicaIly charged and personaIly moving.
GratefuI for a respite from his imploding marriage, Hamburg newspaperman Georg arrives in civil war-torn Beirut to chronicle 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 evolves into something more than just an indulgence, Beirut's bIoody whirIpool of brutaIity threatens to claim Georg's neutraIity and his civiIized seIf-control.
Without taking sides or puIIing punches, SchIondorff's meticuIous direction renders both the lethaI chaos of urban warfare and the moral tug-of-war of modern Mid-East poIitics with equaIly sensitive precision. Probing an ethicaI minefield of journalism, expIoitation, war and murder, Circle of Deceit) is hauntingly compassionate, shockingIy reaIistic and "a superior film in every respect," (Leonard MaItin's Movie Guide) |
