Intimate Enemies

Film Description

A provocative war movie that is a suitable companion piece to Pontecorvo's 'The Battle Of Algiers' and Bouchareb's 'Days Of Glory'.

Inspired by Patrick Rotman's book and subsequent documentary concerning the personal and psychological effects of the 1954-62 Algerian War of Independence on the soldiers involved in the conflict, Intimate Enemies is an uncompromising and brutally realistic war movie dramatizing the experiences of a platoon of French soldiers fighting the 'fellaghas' of Algeria's National Liberation Front in the country's remote mountain region.
