Battle Of Algiers (French), The (Widescreen)
One of the most influential films in the history of political cinema, Gillo Pontecorvo's "The Battle Of Algiers" focuses on the harrowing events of 1957, a key year in Algeria's struggle for independence from France. Shot in the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film vividly recreates the tumultuous Algerian uprising against the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, the French torture prisoners for information and the Algerians resort to terrorism in their quest for independence. Children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafes. The French win the battle, but ultimately lose the war. We are proud to present Pontecorvo's tour de force-a film with astonishing relevance today.

As his research commences, he begins to see evidence that France's writing has bled off of the printed page and onto the real world. Originally published in 1980, this was Carroll's debut novel, and it introduces one of the overriding themes of his early works: that of the ultimate fluidity between...
