189: The Battle of Algiers (1966, International Month)

Emily and Kristen move from Germany to Algeria by way of the 1966 Italian/Algerian co-production: The Battle of Algiers. We talk about Italian neo-realism, untested actors, and how war, sadly, never ages. We promise things will be peppier next episode!
