In Arabic with English subtitles. Also known as Ahdat Sanawovach El-djamr and Chronicle of the Years of Fire. A 2-DVD set. Widescreen. This is a VHS transfer.

The colonial exploitation of Algeria by the French -- which led up to the 1954 rebellion in Algeria -- is the focus of this sweeping epic, sponsored by the Algerian government. Achmed (Jorge Voyagis) and his family are forced to leave their rural home in search of water. While they are trying to adjust to city life, he is drafted into an Algerian unit fighting in the Second World War. He returns to Algeria after the war only to find that the colonial grip has grown even tighter, and following an edict forbidding public meetings, he joins the growing revolt.

5 of 5 Excellent film, unfair obscurity! April 24, 2024
Reviewer: Nick from Chicago, IL  
Very glad more people can discover this powerful, all-but-forgotten Cannes champ... a totally different film from Battle of Algiers, though the two complement each other in interesting ways. Almost impossible to see this movie, which I first caught as a one-time viewing in school two decades ago, so thank you, Movie Detective!
