carlos at st anthony

Remember how you were planning on spending Halloween afternoon holed up in the Walker to take in Assayas' 330-minute 2010 feature Carlos, that is until you came down with a 24-hour bug known as post-halloween-party hangover?  Well, Tom Schmidt, you are in luck cause our dear friends at the Film Society are bringing it back to the cities in all it's 5-hour glory, starting tomorrow at St Anthony:

Carlos - Full Version (NR) runtime 5 hr 30 mins	Fri - Sun: 1:00 PM
Carlos - Short Version (NR) runtime 5 hr 30 mins	Mon - Wed: 7:05, 9:45 Thu: 9:45 PM

I'm guessing that second runtime is a typo. From Film Society:

CARLOS tells the story of Ilich Ramírez Sánchez who, for two decades, was one of the most wanted terrorists on the planet. Between 1974, in London, where he tried to assassinate a British businessman; and 1994, when he was arrested in Khartoum, he lived several lives under various pseudonyms, weaving his way through the complexities of international politics of the period. Who was Carlos? How did his various multi-layered identities fit together? Who was he before engaging body and soul in a never-ending struggle? The drama is built around these questions.
