7/10. A newly restored print (and awesome looking subtitles) of this "classic" movie (which I had never heard of before I saw) is about, obviously, the Algerian revolution. Both sides are shown, with their viewpoints fully realized on both sides. Mostly interesting (I did not know anything about it) and some exciting moments, but is too drawn out. It has some great moments in it, but weak characterization and, basically, lack of flowing story to hold it together, really hinders it. Still, I now know more about the Algerian revolution than I did before I saw the movie, so I'm not really complaining.
Not Rated.
