Carlos

French writer and director Olivier Assayas takes on epic life of notorious terrorist Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, known as Carlos, the Jackal. The film depicts the rise and fall of Carlos who fights for the Palestinian cause with support of several countries who sponsor him including Iraq, Syria and USSR amongst others during the 70's and 80's when the Cold War was fought on all fronts. Assayas has the daunting task to illuminate the complex life that spans three decades in several countries in three continents. Édgar Ramírez gives a riveting performance as Carlos in five different languages that's at the epicenter of this epic. YRCinema's coverage of current releases.
