A very interesting story but an exercise in frustration
13 January 2022
The story hooks you and you are really engrossed in it when bang- the scene cuts to a French business correspondent who is talking in French. You wait and wait hoping that the subtitles appear but all you get is a caption saying "Speaking in French" or words to that effect. You end up missing info which may have been important but who knows? And it always happens when things are getting interesting. And there are a number of interviews with the then Japanese justice minister and Carlos' lawyers- all in Japanese and again not subtitled. The crazy part is there is an interview with his ex-wife which is in English- and then you have a Japanese audio translation overlaid on top of it. Merits an 8 if not for the lousy subs.
