Review of The Battle of Algiers (1966) by Verbalcant — 09 Jul 2012
Handles suspense better than most modern thrillers, the scenes with the female bombers are absolutely brilliantly done. It's agitprop... but what isn't, and it handles it well. None of the characters are over sympathetic, and the politics is all abot the confrontation not about the issues.
I think the only perspective missing is the french back in Europe... why are the soldiers there? A very good film.
