About Vicious Circle
Shortly after the seizure of power by Adolf Hitler at the beginning of 1933, preparations were underway to silence the members of the socialist and communist parties.
Directed by Carl Ballhaus, Vicious Circle leans on a strong ensemble — Jochen Brockmann, Erika Dunkelmann, Horst Naumann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
