The Battle Of Algers, which was nominated for 3 Oscars, screens at 11am Sat. Oct 1. Roger Ebert said the following about this moving film: "The Battle of Algiers, a great film by the young Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo, exists at this level of bitter reality. It may be a deeper film experience than many audiences can withstand: too cynical, too true, too cruel and too heartbreaking. It is about the Algerian war, but those not interested in Algeria may substitute another war; The Battle of Algiers has a universal frame of reference."
