«Outside the Law» (Hors-la-loi) is the film by Rachid Bouchareb (2010), starring Jamel Debbouze, Roschdy Zem and Sami Bouajila, on DVD.
Three Algerian brothers emigrate to France after the Second World War and their lives take opposite paths: the French army, the fight for Algerian independence and the Parisian underworld. The film shows how war, injustice and colonialism shape their decisions, and addresses identity, loyalty and the price of freedom.
The film was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It runs 138 minutes; the DVD is region 2, with original French audio and English subtitles.
Rachid Bouchareb is also the director of Days of Glory; this film suits those seeking historical drama about postcolonial France and the Algerian independence movement.
