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 film that's both politically charged and personally moving.
GratefuI for a respite from his imploding marriage, Hamburg newspaperman Georg arrives in civil war-torn Beirut to chronicle the bIoody Lebanese war. lnside a shell-pitted hoteI, Georg and his photographer colIeague Hoffman join a cynicaI internationaI coterie of competitive felIow journaIists. Outside, they take their Iives in their own hands, dodging both Christian and Palestinian buIlets 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 bloody whirlpool of brutality threatens to cIaim Georg's neutrality and his civilized self-controI.
Without taking sides or pulling punches, Schlondorff's meticulous direction renders both the Iethal chaos of urban warfare and the moraI 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) |
