Battle of Algiers
Gillo Pontecorvo`s presents a harrowing, documentary-style depiction of the Algerian`s people`s struggle to liberate themselves from France between 1954 and 1962. The film creates a stunning illusion of realism by combining actual newsreel footage with staged sequences featuring amateur and professional actors playing characters based on real people (including Saadi Yacef, the one-time leader of the FLN in occupied Algiers). With it`s depiction of political torture and violence retaining every bit of the impact they had upon the film`s original release, THE BATTLE FOR ALGIERS was re-released theatrically in 2003 to great acclaim and reevaluation. Winner of 11 International Film awards. Academy Award Nominations: Best Director, Best (Original) Story and Screenplay.
