Info

In prison in colonial Algeria, shortly after the end of the Second World War, three indigenous cellmates make out. Once free, they attack the authority represented by the triad of the boss, the gendarme and the administrator. “Living the colonial condition,” confided Tewfik Farès, “is something! It’s not sociologically or historically speaking. It’s life. And I think that’s all there in it. [...] For a hundred and thirty years, we wait. We hold back. We push back. We hope. At the same time, on different occasions, there are skirmishes, unrest.

The Outlaws Audience Reviews

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
GUENOT PHILIPPE It's a rare and very underrated film I am speaking about. It's an Algerian film, taking place in Algeria just after WW2, a decade before war in this very country. The story of a bunch of young men who refuse to pay taxes for the French government and who go on rampage. OK it's not a very good film; bad directing, bad acting, awful editing, but nevertheless interesting to watch. It was released in France back in 1976, seven years after its making, and I am not surprised, as far as French officers are rather shown in a very negative way. Not the best Algerian movie ever made but Worth viewing. I'll try to see more items of this kind and then comment them.
