"Le Petit Soldat"
1960
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

The debut feature of Anna Karina, and Godard's second feature, this film was banned in France for its razor-sharp reflection of the Algerian war in a politically divided nation. Michel Subor is a French secret agent on an assassination mission. The film's depiction of brutality and torture, used by both sides in this bloody war, infuriated both the Left and the Right. French with English subtitles. 88 minutes.
