An examination of the career of Jacques Vergès, attorney for members of Algeria's FLN, Palestine's FPLP, the Khmer Rouge, Carlos and associates, Klaus Barbie, and other revolutionaries and outcasts. Archival footage, news articles, and photographs mix with contemporary interviews of Vergès, friends, associates, and historians. Connections with Nazis are explored, as well as Vergès's marriage to Djamila Bouhared, his courtroom methods, his disappearance from 1970 to 1978, and the roots of his radicalism. Throughout, Vergès remains playful and charming, with a soupçon of arrogance. The film suggests Vergès's anti-colonial nature is at his center.
Leave your thoughts about Terror's Advocate.
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Jason McBrideIf the roots of terrorism are hopelessly snarled, Terror's Advocate does a very good job of exposing some of the soil in which they grow. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyOutrageous controversialist meets brilliant attorney, and fact intertwines with fiction. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxSchroeder's film is a fascinating character study in contradictions and in the end Verges remains loathsome, oddly charismatic and willfully enigmatic. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)David EdelsteinA brilliant study in the link between moral corruption and narcissism. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerWilliam ArnoldLess a portrait of this controversial man than a touchstone "to trace the history of contemporary terrorism." |
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaWhatever one makes of its subject's moral code and mind-set, one has to give Terror's Advocate its due: the stories are riveting, the man is real. |
| The A.V. ClubNoel MurrayIf nothing else, Terror's Advocate offers a useful summary of the last half-century of global politics, and how changing public perceptions can make goats out of heroes. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIt is the gift of Terror's Advocate, Barbet Schroeder's riveting new documentary, to simply present Vergès as is, to say "here is the man" and let things speak for themselves. Do they ever. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottIt is one of the most engaging, morally unsettling political thrillers in quite some time, with the extra advantage of being true. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanTerror's Advocate is largely a mix of talking heads and archival footage, but as Vergés's connections to Swiss neo-Nazis and Congo secessionists are explored, the movie becomes a fantastic international thriller. |
