La battaglia di Algeri (1966) film class review

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2010)

In a society that is more concerned about how people look than with what people are, this movie is timeless. It could be a recent story, and even though the movie was released in 1966. The Battle of Algiers is full of energy and suspense. For me, one of the most values of the movie is the soundtrack. Ennio Morricone did an excellent job, as always. One of the most intense moments of the movie is when the three women are acting like French and while transporting bombs with them, part of this intensity his portrayed by the music. The movie also provides a "clean" and impartial view of both sides, the French and the Algerian.
