I watched this in French (with some help from the guy sitting next to me) so I didn't understand everything, but it was very good nonetheless, and I will watch it again when I get subtitles!
My Movie Rating:
8 / 10 Not an outstanding film, but definitely worth seeing at least once... and a good one in the future for the dvd collection.

A decent effort at portraying the Algerian war of independence through young eyes.
