I found
”The battle of Algiers” via iMdb’s Top 250 and never regreted watching it.
Although shot over 50 years ago, it still resonates strong in the eye and the
ear of every movie lover.
Done
the old-school way, with one black and white camera, huge sets with hundreds of
extras, it depicts the brutal civil war led between the indigenous Muslim
population of Algiers and the occupying armed forces from France.
High
levels of tension, detailed script and strong opposing characters of Ali La
Pointe (Brahim Hadjadj) and Colonel Mathieu (Jean Martin) will guide you
smoothly through the entire course of this movie.
”The
battle of Algiers” is one valuable lesson from history, urban guerilla warfare
and film making.
