Our take
In this enthralling drama, the director Jean-Stéphane Bron take us to Geneva and the heart of the infernal machine that is diplomacy. With the brilliant Veerle Baetens in the main role, The Deal depicts the secrets of a power which weighs its words carefully. Despite the seeming calm of Lake Geneva, will Swiss neutrality survive?
