Carlos
Directed by Olivier Assayas
2010
★ 5.6 editorial score
Nearly six hours across eight languages and a dozen countries: Olivier Assayas films a terrorist's whole career as a business, with clients, invoices, expense disputes and a payroll to meet.
“If Carlos is a shabby excuse for a great man, “Carlos” is nonetheless a powerful film from recent history, considering in (largely fictionalized) detail how the myth of Carlos shadowed the years from 1975, when he led a raid on OPEC oil ministers in Vienna, until 1994, when he was betrayed by former comrades, arrested in Sudan and returned to France for trial.”
