Winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1975, Chronicle of the Year of Embers portrays Algeria's struggle for independence from French colonial rule. The story follows a peasant's migration from his drought-stricken village to his eventual participation with the Algerian resistance movement, just prior to the outbreak of the Algerian War of Independence. Shot in rich CinemaScope, Chronicle remains a rarely seen gem of world cinema.
"A grand film...remarkable for its production values as well as its artistic choices." -Robert Chaza, France Soir
