Product Description

Algeria, 1959. Military operations are being stepped up. High in the mountains of Kabylia, Terrien (Benoît MAGIMEL), an idealistic lieutenant takes over the command of a platoon at a French army outpost. Here he meets Dougnac (Albert DUPONTEL), a cynical sergeant. Their differences and the harsh realities in the field drive the two men to the breaking point. Lost in an undeclared war, they discover that their worst enemy is themselves. From acclaimed director Florent Emilio Siri (Hostage), Intimate Enemies is a visually stunning war epic which shows the true brutality and horrors of war.


Synopsis

Florent Emilio Siri wrote and directed this engrossing French drama which follows a French platoon during the Algerian War of Independence of 1954-1962. The film gives a more personal account of the devastating conflict; unflinchingly exposing the complex morality of the strategies used, and highlighting the psychological effect on the soldiers involved.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contre les fellaghas, 8 Nov 2008
By Charles Vasey (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Set in the Kabyle mountains of Algeria this excellently made war film certainly pulls no punches. The extreme volence of the FLN and of some of the French begins to seep into the soul of our hero - young Lt Terrien. The film does not flinch from showing the slaughter by the fellaghas, the torture of prisoners by the French, and the scene of the napalm attack and its results are some of the most powerful that I have seen. In the end, trapped between the millstones of the Revolution and the French Republic is is hardly surprising so many of the individuals are ground to powder. The eventual fate of our hero is perhaps the least believable part of the film but it does not prevent this being a film with an impact. It avoids the usual temptations of vilifying one side or the other. It just leaves a great feeling of waste.
