The Battle of Algiers

The battle of Algiers (1966), recently screened at MoMA, concerns itself with the indigenous Algerian insurgency against the then French occupiers of Algeria. Terrorists(though not suicide) dress in western clothes (like the 9/11 hijackers) to place bombs, and believe strict morals(anti western) are the correct ways to live. Algiers became partitioned (like Palestine), the French commander says 'you are either with us or against us', the French employ torture to extract information and the U.N. can't do anything but pass resolutions condemning the fighting. It all sounds too familiar.
I thought it an excellent movie.
