the first review printed here is about a totally different film....this film takes place in the algeria of today and is about the problems of getting married.....the acting is excellent, the dialogue is almost entirely in french although the singing is in arabic....if one were to know algeria only from the news reports in the international press, one would be very surprised at this portrait of algerian society....available in france on dvd.....
