Reviews in German: "A gripping drama that spans 30 years of recent Romanian history, "Betrayal" ... is solid arthouse fare. It opens in 1848, with anticommunist journalist George Vlaicu... serves 11 punishing years in a waterlogged prison cell. In 1959, a smooth police inspector... offers him a deal: He can go free if he signs a weekly statement... Reluctantly, he agrees. Once out of prison, he finds and marries his former typist... He continues to meet the inspector once a week.... Vlaicu realizes he's been used all along by the state... This is a lucid and intelligent drama about the way a police state controls its artists and writers. It's not as depressing as perhaps it sounds, and boasts fine perfomances as well as top-class technical credits." (Variety)
