4.0 out of 5 stars
Realistic work perhaps, May 23, 2007
This review is from: The Battle of Algiers (DVD)
"The Battle of Algiers" is not only a lesson of history-it is a lesson in making the history as terrorist tactics had not been much changed since a country gained its independence from France half a century ago.
It's definitely yearned not less sympathy and awards than "Paradise now" but topic itself is more publicly acceptable as struggle for Algerian freedom occurred inside this country and towards strange foreign colonial forces.
A bit hyperbolized, this work is interesting piece of history recorded where some simplification of servicemen is a usual way French cinematography works.
