At once a figure of the extreme left and an opportunistic mercenary in the pay of powerful Middle Eastern secret services. Assayas’ fast-moving epic traces the story of a revolutionary internationalist and paints an intimate portrait of an individual whose greed and ego finally wins out over principles.
