The Battle of Algiers Special Edition DVD

One of the most influential political films ever made: gripping, thought-provoking and filmed with such extraordinary realism that it often feels like history unfolding before your eyes.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of world cinema, independent film and memorable performances. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each title now looking for a new home where it can continue to be appreciated.

Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, The Battle of Algiers portrays the Algerian struggle for independence through the escalating conflict between the French authorities and the Algerian resistance.

Starring Jean Martin and Yacef Saadi, the film uses an urgent, documentary-like visual style to explore occupation, resistance, political violence and the human consequences experienced by people caught within the conflict.

An essential addition for collectors of Gillo Pontecorvo films, political cinema, historical drama and influential world cinema classics.
