Djamilah, the Algerian - جميلة الجزائرية

$2,250.00

Played by Magda, Djamilah, an Algerian woman, takes a stand against French colonial oppression. Witnessing the brutality of the one-eyed French officer Béjart, played by Rushdi Abaza, she joins the National Liberation Front (FLN). Her journey from a young woman to a resistance fighter, captured and tortured but unyielding, epitomizes the struggle for Algerian independence. Directed by Youssef Chahine, this film is based on the true story of Djamilah Bu-Hreid and highlights the intense fight for freedom against tyranny.

The poster, designed by Abdelrahman and printed by Gassour, uses a fiery color palette to symbolize the blood and struggle of the Algerian resistance. Magda's determined face stands out prominently, surrounded by sketches of soldiers. Next to her, a standing rifle with the Algerian flag fluttering above it emphasizes the fight for freedom. This very rare poster captures the film's intense and patriotic spirit, making it a prized piece for collectors and fans of political cinema.
