Cult Movie Mondays: The Battle of Algiers 🗓 Monday, April 27 | ⏰ Doors: 6PM | 🎬 Film: 8PM | 📍 TicTic, Phnom Penh
Directed by Gillo Pontecorvo, The Battle of Algiers is a landmark of political cinema, reconstructing the urban guerrilla conflict between Algerian independence fighters and French colonial forces during the 1954–1962 war. Shot in stark black-and-white with a documentary-like immediacy, the film blurs the line between fiction and reportage.
Its refusal to moralise, combined with its unflinching portrayal of insurgency and state repression, has made it essential viewing for filmmakers, political theorists, and military strategists alike. Decades later, its urgency remains intact - a study of resistance, occupation, and the cyclical logic of violence.
“One of the most electrifying films ever made.”
- Mark Kermode
“A film of overwhelming power and relevance.”
- Roger Ebert
