Carlos
This biopic about terrorist/revolutionary Carlos the Jackal is one of 2010's most acclaimed movies. It originally aired as a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour TV miniseries. The Cinematheque is showing the 166-minute theatrical cut that snagged so much praise last year. It's a stunning piece, charting the rise and fall of the charismatic Venezuelan at the center of it all. And don't let its small-screen origin fool you — this epic should be seen in a theater. At 9:10 p.m. Friday, January 14; 7:45 p.m. Saturday, January 15; and 3:15 p.m. Sunday, January 16. — Michael Gallucci
