Plot
A journalist in Beirut.
Sinekatalog’s take
Volker Schlöndorff's drama follows a German journalist in civil-war Beirut, torn between his reporting and his love. Bruno Ganz is strong in a grim, vivid and morally troubled portrait of a war zone and detachment.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
