Ce que le jour doit à la nuit

Even the main character is lil bit stupid, it is beautiful story of love and life. A must watch.

Never let go the love of your love. Well explained ,mesmerising movie ,after watching,i gurantee u are not gonna able to get it out of your head for quite sometimes. It's just the way the movie is made.it has some poetry ,some feelings and some situations.

I watched this movie and could draw parallels with South Indian movies where caste becomes an issue between lovers. This one is an absolute gem. The love that Emile emits on her eyes... it's hair raising... every time when she pleads with her eyes to Jonas... I was spell bound. How could she bring that love in her eyes and connect with the audience? It's a great cast, screenplay, backdrop shown with restraint, overall an amazing film.

This is a beautiful piece of storytelling. It traverses so much ground. The terrible division in French colonial Algeria is depicted very believably. I am sure that anyone who has lived in a divided society will feel the same way. I myself grew up in Northern Ireland and felt a great connection with this story. In the film there is also the story of four young males growing up and encountering divisions between them caused by conflicting passion and the division in society.

Even though the film covers a lot of ground, it always feels entirely integrated. The story is told with such skill. The acting throughout is excellent and the pictures are often beautiful.

Alexandre Arcady never underestimates the intelligence of the audience. He lets you work out what is going on without being over-told. A significant event at the end of this film is signaled that it will come. When it does we know what has happened, we are told in such a gentle and clever way. It is really extremely impressive.

At the centre of the film is a personal story which is achingly sad.

In a nutshell it's a romance in the context of the algerian liberation war, it's beautiful and sad in the same time
