great movie

when this movie came out in holland it didn't receive too much attention, which was a little strange because the director (Traidia) was also the director of the critically acclaimed and much-liked 'de Poolse Bruid' (the polish bride) The reviews that did came out weren't too positive on this film they thought it was too short and too complex... I agree it was a little short but the story is well developed within the 70 (75?) minutes. The story is definitely a highly personal one and the film breathes this. It's subject is also a controversial one although maybe a bit unknown too americans.

all in all an intelligent, personal and sometimes funny film from a great director.. 3 1/2 out of 5

Wissenswertes
Karim Traïdia (who emigrated to Holland from Algeria in the late 1970s) explores both options. It's as if Sahafi is leading parallel lives. In one strand of the story, we see him fighting a forlorn battle for freedom of speech in Algeria. In the other, he runs aground against an implacable Dutch bureaucracy. Sombre, heavy on talk, this is a probing and intelligent political drama. Agoumi, one of Algeria's best known stage actors, brings dignity and pathos to his role as the conscience-torn journalist.
