Die Lügen der Sieger
2014
Synopsis
When a controversial story falls apart after the informant backs out, renowned investigative reporter Fabian Groys turns his attention to a toxic waste scandal. Fabian soon suspects that the two stories are connected. Pure coincidence, or is he being manipulated?
Editorial
Genre conventions are retooled in Christoph Hochhäusler’s fifth feature, a political thriller engineered with all the slick ingenuity of Berlin’s glass and steel business districts. Corruption in those high places of late neoliberalism has rarely been rendered as cleverly and sexily as this.
