synopsis
Set between 1954 and 1957, during the most intense phase of the Algerian War of Independence, The Battle of Algiers chronicles the escalating conflict between FLN fighters and the French colonial authorities in the streets of Algiers. Filmed with an almost documentary-like immediacy, the film lays bare both the mechanics of urban guerrilla warfare and the human cost of colonial rule, making it one of cinema's most powerful and enduring reflections on revolution and state power.
Un chef-d’œuvre de réalisme historique et de puissance dramatique.
Robert Ageron
