The Battle of Algiers

<b>Gillo Pontecorvo’s</b> influential antiwar classic charts the protracted struggle by Algerian revolutionaries against Algeria’s French occupiers between 1954 and 1957. Shot on location with a largely non-professional cast, who had lived-in experience of the conflict, it is based on the memoir of National Liberation Front (FLN) leader <b>Saadi Yacef</b>, who appears in the film. The winner of Venice’s Golden Lion in 1966 and initially banned in France, <i>The Battle Of Algiers</i> is driven by a neorealist verve and remains one of the most potent films about colonialism and resistance. It also features a notable score made in collaboration with <b>Ennio Morricone</b>. Arabic, French, Spanish, with English subtitles.DramaPT2H1M152026-02-27
