when the law becomes unjust, breaking it becomes a moral imperative
France invaded Algeria in 1830, launching a scorched-earth policy. For over 100 years, Algeria was France’s prize colony in North Africa, with French forces brutalizing the Algerians in every way imaginable. So it was inevitable that the Algerians would eventually rise up against the French. Rachid Bouchareb’s “Hors la loi” (“Outside the Law” in English) looks at three brothers who participate in Algeria’s war for independence, and the France’s draconian policies in trying to suppress it (I’ve read about how the French army tortured Algerian prisoners during the war). While France may have generally been a democracy, the Algerians living there experienced a police state. The conditions under which the French forced them to live might as well have been the townships in apartheid South Africa.

Obviously I can’t vouch for the accuracy of everything depicted in the movie. What I can say is that it shows the desperation of the Algerians amid the sheer level of violence inflicted on them by the French. The opening scene reminded me of what happened to the family in John Sayles’s “Secret of Roan Inish”.

I don’t know how much the Algerians in France get considered “truly French”. My guess is not much. When I spent a week with a family in France, they took me to a party and one of the guests was from Algeria. Most recently, Emmanuel Macron refused to apologize to Algeria for France’s treatment of the country. Full reconciliation probably won’t come any time soon.

It’s a start, but not a very good one
Viewed at the Festival du Film, Cannes 2010

There’s no doubt France’s colonial history is a treasure trove for film makers, and the country certainly has some coming to terms to do with its past, but Outside The Law, for all the fuss it raised in Cannes (including a protest by former white residents of Algeria), is, sadly, a missed opportunity.

True, the film does try to cover all the bases, and the French treated the Algerians appallingly, both in Algeria and in France itself. But what comes out is a very anodyne and clichéd soap opera about three brothers who eventually end up taking criminal paths, either within the Algerian terrorist movement or the underworld.

Although great care has been taken with the costumes, sets, props etc. to create a very credible sense of period, Outside The Law is let down by its script which, in striving for balance and neutrality, robs the films of any drama or tension and purses a by-the-numbers narrative. Everything is signposted in advance and duly arrives on time.

Outside The Law is to be applauded as a start in tackling this incredibly complex and still painful subject, but it’s not a very good one. The protesters, who most likely had not seen the film, would find nothing to fear here. And they too also have a story that should be told. Whether other film makers pick up the gauntlet remains to be seen, but I suspect box office results for this film will show that this is a market best served by TV documentaries instead.
