Sénac, Jean. Algérien, Poète (2011)
Jean Sénac, born in Béni Saf in Algeria in 1926 and died in Algiers in 1973, is today considered one of the great French writers and poets and the only one of his reputation to have accompanied the Algerian revolution before November 1954. part of all the debates and got involved, very early and with immense enthusiasm, in a work of commitment which ended badly. His poetry, his sexual preferences and his political lyricism work against him: rejected as much by the Pieds Noirs as by the FLN activists then by the power in place in Algiers, Jean Sénac was assassinated in 1973 at his home in Algiers, in circumstances never clarified.

Good concept, poorly executed.
Dreadfully Boring
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
