Today I saw the re-release of La Battaglia di Algeri ("The Battle of Algiers"). It is an incredible film, first released in 1965, banned in France, and screened by the Pentagon in 2003. I recommend that all Americans see it. In black-and-white with subtitles (the two languages spoken are French and Arabic), it is about a foreign power facing a violent insurgency in the country it is occupying, perpetrated by a minority of terrorists. Sound familiar?
