CGiii Comment

Suppressed homosexuality in the military...

A fine piece of film-making of almost epic proportions.

And, faultless performances - especially from Brandauer.

The(ir) Blurb...

Set during the fading glory of the Austro-Hungarian empire, the film tells of the rise and fall of Alfred Redl (Brandauer), an ambitious young officer who proceeds up the ladder to become head of the Secret Police only to become ensnared in political deception.
