Décembre
1973 · 1 hr 34 mins
In Algiers, during the Algerian War of Independence, one of the leaders of the FLN was arrested by the French colonial army, which used the most violent methods to make the prisoners speak. The use of torture poses a conscience problem for a French officer. Playing shot-reverse-shot, between the tortured and his torturer, in a suffocating camera, Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina approaches torture by drawing inspiration from the story of his father, who died of abuse.
Director: Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina
Cast: Michel Auclair, Sid Ali Kouiret, Julien Guiomar, Geneviève Page, André Thorent
