Omar Gatlato

An Algerian tale of the seventies, tender and hard at the same time. Meet Omar in the streets of the Alger's Casbah, meet his family with his funny grandpa who sleeps in the kitchen. Listen to the young lady's voice on the tape and fall in love. I specially love the atmosphere of this country at this time, after the Liberation War against the French colonialism and just before the tragic events of the nineties which close Algeria on itself. The acting is very good too, maybe many actors are not professional but they are perfectly right. You'll appreciate this film if you like realistic movies. A film to discover, an Algerian cinema to encourage and a country to reborn.
