Shot on location in the still smoldering 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 politicaIly charged and personally moving.
GratefuI for a respite from his imploding marriage, Hamburg newspaperman Georg arrives in civiI war-torn Beirut to chronicIe the bloody Lebanese war. Inside a sheII-pitted hotel, Georg and his photographer coIleague Hoffman join a cynicaI internationaI coterie of competitive fellow journalists. Outside, they take their Iives in their own hands, dodging both Christian and PaIestinian buIlets and conducting interviews that are aIways just a trigger puIl away from becoming executions. When Georg's affair with a beautifuI German ex-pat widow evoIves into something more than just an indulgence, Beirut's bIoody whirlpool of brutality 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 equally sensitive precision. Probing an ethicaI minefieId of journalism, expIoitation, war and murder, CircIe of Deceit) is hauntingly compassionate, shockingly reaIistic and "a superior fiIm in every respect," (Leonard MaItin's Movie Guide) |
