Brahim Hadjadj, Jean Martin, Yacef Saadi
1966
In the 1950s, fear and violence escalate as the people of Algiers fight for independence from the French government.
The portrayal of the Algerian struggle for independence was raw and powerful. The black-and-white cinematography added to the gritty realism of the narrative. The acting was tight, especially Yacef Saadi, who brought that authenticity to the screen. The film didn't shy away from the tough topics, making it a real conversation starter. The soundtrack was tight, and the film's message about resilience and resistance resonated deeply. It's a solid watch for anyone who digs films with social justice themes.
