Synopsis : The Battle of Algiers is a 1966 war film based on occurrences during the Algerian War (1954–62) against French colonial occupation in North Africa, the most prominent being the titular Battle of Algiers. The film has been critically celebrated and often taken, by insurgent
groups and states alike, as an important commentary on urban guerilla
warfare. The highly dramatic film is about the organisation of a guerrilla movement and the methods used to annihilate it by the colonial power.
A film commissioned by the Algerian government that shows the Algerian
revolution from both sides. The French foreign legion has left Vietnam
in defeat and has something to prove. The Algerians are seeking
independence. The two clash. The torture used by the French is
contrasted with the Algerian's use of bombs in soda shops. A look at war
as a nasty thing that harms and sullies everyone who participates in
it.
