Known for I Am Guilty (Falscher Bekenner), which was also released in Turkey, Christoph Hochhäusler’s new film is an example of genre cinema. Reminiscent of the political thrillers of the 1970s, The Lies of Victors tells the story of journalist Fabian Groys who discoversa much bigger scandal while investigating the army’s treatment of disabled soldiers. The film premiered at last year’s Rome Film Festival and has earned acclaim at international festivals.
