"The Repentant" by Merzak Allouache (Algeria, 2012, 87 min) - Alwan Film Festival 2013
The Repentant digs deeps into Algeria's "Black Decade" for a close look at the lingering effects of the nation's civil war. When the government enacts a law that provides amnesty to rebels who forfeit their weapons, Rashid leaves his hide-out in the mountains and returns home to start anew. But the law cannot erase his past. A precise narrative style and distinguished performances from the cast allow Allouache to place viewers at the heart of this engaging and deeply touching story.
