Campus Film Series
Days of Glory
Thursday-Sunday, October 22-25
Davies Theatre | 6pm & 8:30pm
The forgotten story of Algerian Arabs - “indigènes” - who volunteered to fight for France in World War II is told in this gritty, old-fashioned war movie, an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film. New York Magazine calls it “a rousing memorial to the Muslims who fought against Germany - and fought because they wanted to
be Frenchmen. ... Scene after scene makes its anti-racist point,
and yet the film isn’t a series of head butts. It’s a measured, classical piece of storytelling that gives you room to breathe.”
The film’s four key players collectively received the Best Actor
award at the Cannes Film Festival.
