Ha, Battle of Algiers is next (in a day or two)! Pontecorvo is such a genius, but his movies are so hard to come by.

Nice post! I haven’t seen Burn! yet, but it’s interesting to find out that Pontecorvo made so many engaging movies about political revolutions. The one I have seen is the popular Battle of Algiers. It was definitely a good movie and a refreshing break from so many other ‘revolution’ movies (esp. by French directors!) that were either unnecessarily abstruse or had a guy reading from Fanon or Mao’s Little Red Book for half the running length. Hope to read more about these movies.

Nice Post and a great poster! Look forward to the write-ups on the other revolutionary films.
