Vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafes, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style. "A Masterpiece! Moves like a thriller."--J. Hoberman, The Village Voice "Surely the most harrowing political epic ever."--Philip Gourevitch, The New Yorker "Legendary... Riveting! A great movie."--Stuart Klawans, The New York Times
