Filmed in Algiers and the surrounding countryside during the late stages of the Algerian War, under the pretext that it was a documentary about the wine industry, the film depicts the Algerian struggle for independence from the French by concentrating on a young “pied-noir” (Frenchman of Algerian descent) who returns to Algiers to visit his dying father. His memories of boyhood on his father's farm are told in flashbacks with a lush serenity that contrasts to the teeming, tank-filled streets of contemporary Algiers. Giving the film a neorealist tone by shooting in a documentary style and enrolling a cast that consisted largely of non-professional actors, including author Jean Pelegri who wrote the autobiographical novel from which the film is based, Blue tells a powerful story of common people living and struggling in their daily lives, while providing a valuable testimony to the complexity of the Algerian situation in that time period. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Motion pictures, French. 650 0 Foreign films. 650 0 Motion Pictures. 650 0 Drama. 650 0 Motion pictures. 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 Blue, James,|efilm director. 700 1 Poggi, Huguette,|eactor. 700 1 Pélégri, Jean,|eactor. 700 1 Decaitre, Marie,|eactor. 710 2 Kino Lorber (Firm),|4dst 710 2 Kanopy (Firm),|4dst 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/12101598|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/12101598/ external-image
