Battle of Algiers

…

…documented disasters in history, The Battle of Algiers remains one of the most emotionally powerful films I have ever scene. As stated earlier, finding the beauty in an event so shocking it is only seen by a chosen few once in a lifetime is an incredible cinematic, as well as, human feat. The bottom line is that Pontecorvo exposes us to the radiance of human tragedy, no matter how hard we try to look away.
