But I found the final part the most revealing, especially because Édgar Ramírez's performance reaches its peak at the end. I've not yet commented on what is easily the finest acting work of the year...."<br /><br />I couldn't agree with you more on both points, and at this point for me it contends for best film of the years along with (interestingly enough) some other French entries--LOURDES, UN PROPHETE and WHITE MATERIAL. Magnificent review, the second one I've actually just read in the past half hour. The other is by Just Another Film Buff:<br /><br />http://theseventhart.info/2010/11/27/lights-camera-revolution/<br /><br />One of your great piece Jake, and that's saying something!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494160638739613756.post-81214799049696092512010-11-26T16:57:27.444-05:002010-11-26T16:57:27.444-05:00I think (or at least hope) you'll love it, Jas...I think (or at least hope) you'll love it, Jason. It's just bravura filmmaking, perfectly balancing its cinematic ambition with small-scale detail.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078001374402400232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494160638739613756.post-35053321366730036142010-11-26T16:40:11.804-05:002010-11-26T16:40:11.804-05:00I haven't read a word of this.

As much as it has big screen ideas and masterful execution, it's still a work for TV and is intimate enough to be well-served by home viewing. That way, you can watch one part at a time and it goes down smoother. Plus, each episode is so well-paced that I didn't even notice I dropped 6 hours on this bad boy.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078001374402400232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494160638739613756.post-26926405540413600822010-11-26T14:26:53.074-05:002010-11-26T14:26:53.074-05:00I am not even going to read this review because th...I am not even going to read this review because the idea of CARLOS makes me exhausted.
