The film “Carlos,” by French director Olivier Assayas (Boarding Gate, Irma Vep, Demonlover), will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Written for the small screen of French television, this breakneck geopolitical thriller about the life of Venezuelan-born Ilich Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez (aka \u201cCarlos the Jackal\u201d) is a cinematic masterpiece.<\/p>\n

Born in 1949 to a Marxist lawyer, Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez trained in guerrilla warfare with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hoping to bring these skills to his native Venezuela. Instead, he joined the PFLP and allegedly participated in numerous violent campaigns, including the 1975 kidnapping of several oil ministers at the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries\u2019 (OPEC) headquarters in Vienna.<\/p>\n

Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez still lives and is serving a life sentence in a French prison. Lauded by some as a revolutionary, he has been called a terrorist, a soldier, a womanizer, a mercenary and, at times, a pathological liar. He chose the nom de guerre \u201cCarlos,\u201d purportedly after former Venezuelan president Carlos Andr\u00e9s P\u00e9rez Rodr\u00edguez. In the film, Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez names Rodr\u00edguez as a hero for nationalizing his country\u2019s oil industry. Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez also claims that, if released from prison, he would join Venezuela\u2019s Bolivarian revolution.<\/p>\n

The movie begins in the 70\u2019s, a time steeped in idealism, as radical liberation movements erupt around the globe. Shot in nine countries, the film is a whirlwind journey that leads us through a web of international espionage and political intrigue. As the idealism of various social movements deteriorates throughout the 70\u2019s, Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez\u2019s own principles have to adapt to these changes. In an Art in America interview, Assayas describes how Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez needs to \u201cre-invent himself and be constantly on the move: physically and intellectually. (\u2026) He\u2019s dependent on the little space that he has\u2014a space that is constantly shrinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Venezuelan actor Edgar Ram\u00edrez gives a mesmerizing incarnation of the man known as \u201cCarlos\u201d. He becomes a stunning kaleidoscope of the many myths that surround the real Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez. Although the journalistic documentation of this story is meticulously researched, \u201cCarlos\u201d the person is far more difficult to capture. Thus, Assayas admits that much of the film is fiction, especially Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez\u2019s personality and relationships. \u201cI don\u2019t think anyone will ever know who the real Carlos is,\u201d says Edgar Ram\u00edrez to the New York Daily News. \u201cHe\u2019s a walking contradiction; that\u2019s why this character is so interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Edgar Ram\u00edrez\u2019s romanticized image of Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez has been duplicated before in other venues, such as in Colin Smith\u2019s 1976 book Carlos: Portrait of a Terrorist and Christian Duguay\u2019s 1997 film The Assignment.<\/p>\n

Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez decries many of the myths that have been written about him, explaining how he hates the moniker \u201cCarlos the Jackal\u201d in a prison interview with Anthony Haden-Guest for the New York Press, particularly because \u201cEl Chacal de Guiria\u201d was the nickname given to Pedro Estrada, a torturer for Venezuelan\u2019s National Security in the 50\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez also blasts the politics of the film. In a prison blog, he faults his fellow Venezuelan Edgar Ram\u00edrez for participating in \u201ccounter-revolutionary propaganda.\u201d The actor Edgar Ram\u00edrez says in a New York Daily News interview, \u201cI don\u2019t express myself ideologically through my characters. I think the character in this movie, and the story itself, has enough complexity for everyone to take their own message out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps. But Assayas does omit any clear representation of what drives oppressed people such as the Palestinians to drastic guerrilla tactics. And Assayas labels Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez as a terrorist in the film\u2019s opening credits.<\/p>\n

As a matter of fact, Ram\u00edrez S\u00e1nchez is suing the producers of Carlos, claiming that the film links him with crimes for which he hasn\u2019t been convicted. The film\u2019s lawyer, Richard Malka, balks at this in the Telegraph of London saying, \u201cHow could we tarnish the image of Carlos, when he himself has claimed to be behind at least 2000 deaths?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet the viewers of Carlos might not care about any of this. They will probably be too intrigued with revisiting this amazing segment of history. So much of this story actually did take place. And to see it on the screen is a jarring reminder that what goes on in the world is often bigger and more horrendous than any fiction. Airplanes have been hijacked, bombs have been tossed into crowds of civilians and weapons continue to be bought and sold on a massive scale.<\/p>\n

Much of the film, including \u201cCarlos\u2019\u201d inner psyche, have been invented. But through Edgar Ram\u00edrez\u2019s performance, the movie helps us delve deeply into why anyone would be drawn to a life of such violence and risk.<\/p>\n

Carlos will play Nov. 5\u2013to 11 at the SFFS screen at the Sundance Kabuki Theatre. An intermission will divide its five-and-a-half hour length. Undoubtedly, the audience will eagerly return for the second half. For more information visit: www.sffs.org<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
