Dramatic, pseudo-documentary reconstruction of the rise of the
nationalist movement in Algiers between 1954 and 1957, the crushing
defeat it faced at the hands of the French, and its resurgence
three years later. Highly influential both in terms of style and
content, and originally banned in France for fear of its potential
to incite civil unrest, Gillo Pontecorvo's film was one of the
benchmarks of 1960s political radicalism.

Griping and relevant
Mon, 11 May 2015 | Review
by: Michael S.
Almost forgotten these days, this was a major success back in the 60's and still highly relevant in South Africa and around the world : semi-documentary, it tells the story of the nationalistic uprising of the Algerians against French Colonial rule, and the French response. Thought provoking and convincing. It seems unreal that it was once banned in France, especially because although sympathetic to the rebels, it is explicit on the way both sides could become corrupted by their ideologies and by the fact of warfare
