And you thought the Roger Clemens hearings were tense: Barbet Schroeder’s rabbit-hole dive into the world of ego-tripping war-criminal defender Jacques Vergès is a dizzying portrait of the lawyer as a heretical hero. From Algiers to Israel, Nazi Germany to Colombia, this film tracks Vergès and his dizzying rhetoric from one conflagration to the next. He’s the Forrest Gump of terror.
