Solid one, not really my style of movie, also didn’t realize that the music from this movie is in inglorious basterds, was mildly shooketh by that. I felt like the rebels could’ve gone without murdering a bunch of civilians to actually get their way but I understand why it had to happen. Hey, I wouldn’t want to be controlled by the French either, fuck the French. Maybe I’ll watch again, maybe I won’t, I haven’t decided yet.

The parallels between a 60 year old movie and modern anti-Muslim sentiment are so aligned that you’d think nothing has changed. 

This is a powerful film that isn’t afraid to show both sides at their worst. It doesn’t try to hide its Pro-Algerian stance but still sets out to show that the revolution was violent and that many innocent people died on both sides. 

Really hard-hitting stuff here, and a masterwork of film-making.

The Battle of Algiers is a gripping, unflinching portrayal of urban warfare and colonial resistance that still feels scarily urgent decades later. The way that it's shot in a documentary style is incredible, the film immerses you in the chaos of the Algerian struggle. Its use of handheld camerawork gives it an almost unsettling realism, making the violence feel immediate.
Thought-provoking, intense, and politically fearless, The Battle of Algiers definitely essential viewing, even though it's not an easy one.
