The 2012 Carnegie Mellon International Film Festival: Faces of Others

El Sicario, Room 164 explores the ‘terrifyingly casual roots of evil’ through the eyes of an unnamed, former “sicario”—a hit man and enforcer for a drug cartel in Ciudad Juárez who once kidnapped and tortured someone in the very room in which Gianfranco Rosi films this thrilling documentary. (France/USA, 2011)
