Cinema Italia Podcast (Series 2 Episode 1): The Battle of Algiers (Italy/Algeria: Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966)

Listen to me in discussion with John Bleasdale on Gillo Pontecorvo's classic The Battle of Algiers. We talk about the politics of the film, its relevance today, the links to Italian neorealism and Italian cinema in general, and its long-lasting influence on filmmakers. 

I can warmly recommend the Cinema Italia podcast. It is always lively and informative; a must-listen for cineastes and fans of world cinema.
