An outstanding example of the power of cinema.

Rating: 10/10 (3 May 1999)

One of the most powerful films that I have ever seen. Brilliant camera work and direction. Some people have described this film as a marxist work, but this just shows their isolationist attitude. The film is remarkable well balanced, especially as it was made in Algiers not long after Algeria became independent from France. This film is one of my top ten!
