Lee Freeman on Battle of Algiers
Manage episode 394876941 series 3482782
Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 masterpiece The Battle of Algiers is the subject of this episode. With its cinema verité style and emotional impact, it is as relevant today as it was on its release. A stirring examination of resistance, oppression and the price that the innocent often pay. Add to this a stand out score by - who else? - Ennio Morricone.
Lee Freeman is a film academic and teacher.
