VHS Movie Reviews of Battle of Algiers
Movie Review: A cineaste's dream
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw the film originally when it came out but this Criterion Collection, with all the additional associated film, commentary and literature is superlative. The film itself is relevant today and the package makes it abundantly clear as to why? Movie Review: Gripping depiction of urban insurgency
Summary: 5 Stars
The Battle of Algiers is a compelling film which depicts the commitment of the Algerian insurgents of the late 1950's, and the difficulty of combating them with an outside army. Strikingly similar to the Iraqi insuregency of today.Movie Review: Excellent History Movie About a Major French Defeat
Summary: 5 Stars
The Battle of Algiers is an excellent historical movie about the people of Algeria's heroic struggle against their French oppressors. The French used torture and other evil tactics in Algeria. The Algerians came to achieving ultimate victory through evil tactics of their own such as killing innocent civilians and police men. There were a series of bloody bombings of bistros and discos.
This is a film worth watching in light of the current events in Iraq.
Movie Review: Great Timeless Film
Summary: 5 Stars
Just saw this film as a friend insisited that it's great and that I must it. I remember it being re-released and shown in several artsy theatres a few years ago and I had no desire to see it (it seemed boring....). Even when I got it on DVD I just put it aside and even considered returning it before viewing since everyone said it seemed boring (none of these people had seen it).
Anyway, finally I had nothing to do last night and watched it. Boring it was NOT. I could not stop watching it .It's one of the best films I've seen for a very long time and it's timeless. So so relevant to what is going on the middle east (i.e. Iraq as well as Israel/Palestine) that it could have been made 2 years ago.
I strongly recommend this film. I can't believe I was not going to watch it.
Movie Review: Entertaining & Educational
Summary: 5 Stars
Fabulous historically accurate fictional movie (almost documentary). Gripping. A must see in all mature French and History classes. Arrived as promised.
