"Days of Glory" is a kind of "Ryan"

This has been an exceptional year for the unexpected World War II film, for motion pictures that combine the traditional satisfactions of combat movies with the bracing bite of contemporary relevance.
With in addition to the Clint Eastwood diptych of "Flags of Our Fathers" and the upcoming "Letters From Iwo Jima," we now have "Days of Glory." This remarkable, powerfully entertaining French Moroccan Algerian co-production tells the hidden story of the massive North African troop participation that made possible the ultimate French victory in Europe.
As directed by Rachid Bouchareb, himself born in France to Algerian immigrants, i think that "Days of Glory" is a kind of a North African "Saving Private Ryan," a taut, involving film that delivers all the things we look for in war movies and does so with intelligence and integrity. |
