The Battle of Algiers
The Battle of Algiers is a 1966 Italian- Algerian historical war film co-written and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and starring Jean Martin and Saadi Yacef.
It is based on events by rebels during the Algerian War( 1954 – 62) against the French government in North Africa; the most prominent being the titular Battle of Algiers, the capital of Algeria.
It was shot on location and the film's score was composed by Ennio Morricone.
The film was shot in a Roberto Rossellini- inspired newsreel style: in black and white with documentary- type editing to add to its sense of historical authenticity.
It is often associated with Italian neorealist cinema.
The film has been critically celebrated.
Both insurgent groups and state authorities have considered it to be an important commentary on urban guerrilla warfare.
It occupies the 48th place on the" Critics' Top 250 Films" of the 2012" Sight& Sound" poll, as well as 120th place on" Empire" magazine's list of the' 500 greatest movies of all time'.
It was selected to enter the list of the" 100 Italian films to be saved".
The film concentrates on the years between 1954 and 1957 when guerrilla fighters regrouped and expanded into the Casbah, the citadel of Algiers.
Their actions were met by French paratroopers attempting to regain territory.
The highly dramatic film is about the organization of a guerrilla movement and the illegal methods, such as torture, used by the colonial power to contain it.
Algeria succeeded in gaining independence from the French, which Pontecorvo addresses in the film's epilogue.
A subject of socio-political controversy, the film was not screened for five years in France; it was released in 1971.
