From 1965. This film set a very high standard for what an historical quasi-documentary can achieve. Startling, you-are-there camera work made you feel the grit, the reality, the poverty, the purpose of the Algerians fighting against their French oppressors.
One of the great films of world cinema which hasn't dated at all...indeed seems ever more relevant as the US takes over the role of international oppressor.
