  • POSTER TAGLINE & DESCRIPTION

    La battaglia di Algeri (released in the UK in 1968 as "The Battle of Algiers"), the 1966 Gillo Pontecorvo(nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Algerian/Italian military anti-war melodrama ("The revolt that stirred the world!"; "The French Colonel... who was forced even to torture!"; "One of the Many Women... who stopped at nothing to win!"; "The Algerian Street Boy... who became a rebel hero!"). Considered by many to be the greatest political thriller ever made, this gripping, sensationally well-directed, scored, and edited

    docu-drama is still as controversial, shocking, and mesmerizing as itwas back in the day it was made. Banned in France for decades its

    very even-handedness in portraying the conflict makes it almost unique, although the insistent rhythms of Ennio Morricone's brilliant

    music score indicate where the underlying sympathies may lie. A

    masterpiece.
